1 quotation from Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), with the subject each one is filed under.

If you consider that the constant tenor of the gospel precepts is to promote love, peace, and good-will amongst men, you will not doubt that the cultivation of an amiable disposition is a great part of your religious duty; since nothing leads more directly to the breach of charity, and to the injury and molestation of our fellow-creatures than the indulgence of an illtemper.— filed under Kindness
