Anger is the root of all the cowardly passions. Envy, spite, revenge, impatience, annoyance, selfishness, prejudice, unrest and the like, are all phases of anger. Jealousy, fear, the belittleing of self, the blues, and all the introspective forms of de- pression are the children of worry. Anger and worry are the most unpro- fitable conditions known to man. They are thieves that steal precious time and energy from life,—(Horace Fletcher. 4. H.
