Quote

Sometimes I lose my temper.

I have a hell-fire temper.

Everyone has a temper. A temper is an emotion.

My temper is of a recluse and contemplative cast; had it been otherwise, I should, perhaps, on some former occasions, have entered into the active concerns of the world and not have been connected with it merely as a writer of books.

I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.

It's my rule never to lose me temper till it would be detrimental to keep it.

An awful lot has been written about my temper.
