Addicted Quote by Gordon B. Hinckley

“There is another serious thing to which many young men become addicted. This is anger. With the least provocation they explode into tantrums of uncontrolled rage. It is pitiful to see someone so weak. But even worse, they are prone to lose all sense of reason and do things which bring later regret.” quote by Gordon B. Hinckley
