When you do not restrain your anger, you are like a wild beast that cannot be tamed.
You are consumed by anger, which you are incapable of restraining.
No sea lashed in horizontal, wind-driven bursts cannot be compared to the outburst of the quick-tempered one. The quick-tempered one is always intractable, inexorable, heartless; the burning anger in my heart is smouldering and the rage is fanning the flames.
