Slow to Anger

Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,
    but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

~ Proverbs 14:29 (ESV)

Give Thought to Your Steps

15 The simple believes everything,
    but the prudent gives thought to his steps.
16 One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil,
    but a fool is reckless and careless.
17 A man of quick temper acts foolishly,
    and a man of evil devices is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly,
    but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

~ Proverbs 14:15-18 (ESV)

Hot-Temper

A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do it again. ~ Proverbs 19:19 (NIV 1984)

Don't Stir Up Strife

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention. ~ Proverbs 15:18 (ESV)

Control Your Temper

Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city. ~ Proverbs 16:32 (NIV 1984)

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. ~ (ESV)
