"La colère est une brève folie ; gouverne ton esprit, car s'il n'obéit pas, il commande"
— Horace

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when people get angry, they can act without thinking, doing things they might later regret. Think of anger like a storm that makes it hard to see clearly. Just like you'd try to control a car in a storm to avoid accidents, you need to control your mind when you're angry. If you let anger take over, it can control you and make you do things you don't really mean. For example, if someone yells at a friend because they're angry, their friend might get hurt and the relationship could suffer. To avoid this, it's important to take a moment to calm down before reacting. This way, you can make decisions that you won't regret later.
