I'm an angry person, angrier than most people would imagine, I get flashes of anger. What works for me is working out when it's useful to use that anger.

Here's my Golden Rule for a tarnished age: Be fair with others, but keep after them until they're fair with you.

Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.

When people are laughing, they're generally not killing one another.
