ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૧૬:૩૨
જે ક્રોધ કરવે ધીમો તે પરાક્રમી કરતાં સારો છે, અને જે પોતાના મિજાજને કાબૂમાં રાખે છે તે શહેર જીતનાર કરતાં ઉત્તમ છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन १६:३२
विलम्ब से क्रोध करना वीरता से, और अपने मन को वश में रखना, नगर को जीत लेने से उत्तम है।

In context

30One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.

31Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.

32One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.

33The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.
