He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalts folly.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 14:29 Go To Proverbs 14
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Do you not see the athletes, how they exercise when they have filled the bags with sand? But there is no need for you to practice this. Life is full of things that exercise you and make you strong.… For it is said, “One who is longsuffering abounds in wisdom, but he who is small of soul is strongly foolish.”
