St. Basil the Great:
You are foolish to be angry with your brother. For how is it not foolish to be angry with another simply because he provokes you: doing what dogs do, who bite the stones when they cannot reach those who throw them. He who is provoked is to be pitied; but he who provokes him becomes hateful.
When this happens, turn your anger against the murderer of man, against the father of lies, the sower of sin; but show sympathy to your brother; because, should he remain in sin, he will be given over with the devil to eternal fire.
