MARCUS AURELIUS

“Keep this thought handy when you feel a fit of rage coming on—it isn’t manly to be enraged.
Rather, gentleness and civility are more human, and therefore manlier.
A real man doesn’t give way to anger and discontent, and such a person has strength, courage, and endurance—unlike the angry and complaining.
The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.”

- MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS , 11.18.5

Re the sentiment stated in the OP statement....

Proverbs 16:32
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

Proverbs 11:3
The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

Read Isaiah 59, KJV

It is a close description of machinations which we [all of us] have chosen to engage in, in this age.

Not so ?

"....And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."
Luke 16:31
