Be slow to anger and arguments...

The spiritual aspirant must be vigilant not to lose his
temper on trivial and petty matters, for that will retard his
progress. Anger must be sublimated by systematic effort. One must
resist the impulse to enter into discussions and arguments, for this
breeds a spirit of rivalry and leads one towards feelings of anger
and vengeance. Anger is at the root of all wrong behaviour. Hence,
cultivate love towards all beings and thus keep undesirable habits
and tendencies at bay...
