I have a hell-fire temper.

I still have a temper, I suppose.

For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.

I have a pretty bad temper. But you have to really push me to see it. But everybody has their things.

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.

It's not something I worry about: I can control my temper!

I don't have a problem with my temper.

I have a short temper - I think it's part of the Celtic background. I used to be a lot more angry, but I was quite discreet with it.

I do have an occasional temper - I sort of inherited my dad's short fuse.

My tides were fluctuating, too - back and forth, back and forth - sometimes so fast they seemed to be spinning. They call this 'rapid cycling.' It's a marvel that a person can appear to be standing still when the mood tides are sloshing back and forth, sometimes sweeping in both directions at once. They call that a 'mixed state.'
