“Moreover, as soon as you perceive that you have committed some act of anger, repair the fault by a prompt act of gentleness, towards the same person with whom you have been irritated. For just as it is a sovereign remedy against lying to unsay the lie on the spot, as soon as we are aware of having said it, so also it is a good remedy against anger to repair it at once by a contrary act of gentleness; for, as they say, fresh wounds are more easily cured.” — St. Francis de Sales, Introduction to the Devout Life, Chapter VIII, of gentleness towards our neighbour and how to remedy anger
