Prov 12:16 · Douay-Rheims
“A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.”
On this verse:
“The monks praised a brother to Antony. Antony went to him and tested him to see if he could endure being insulted. When he saw that he could not bear it, he said to him, 'You are like a house with a highly decorated outside, but burglars have stolen all the furniture by the back door.'”
