Anger often comes to us, but more often we come to it

"Very many men manufacture complaints, either by suspecting what is untrue or by exaggerating the unimportant. Anger often comes to us, but more often we come to it. Never should we summon it; even when it falls on us, it should be cast off."
Seneca, On Anger (English translation by John William Basore)
