Death is not more certainly a separation of our souls from our bodies than the Christian life is a separation of our souls from worldly tempers, vain indulgences, and unnecessary cares.
William Law
God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.
Laurence Sterne
If isolation tempers the strong, it is the stumbling-block of the uncertain.
Paul Cezanne
Many people lose their tempers merely from seeing you keep yours.
Frank Moore Colby
Memory tempers prosperity, mitigates adversity, controls youth, and delights old age.
Lactantius
Old maids, having never bent their temper or their lives to other lives and other tempers, as woman's destiny requires, have for the most part a mania for making everything about them bend to them.
Honore De Balzac
Remember likewise there are persons who love fewer words, an inoffensive sort of people, and who deserve some regard, though of too still and composed tempers for you.
Joseph Butler
