"穏やかな男の怒りに注意せよ"
— Geoffrey Chaucer
Simplified Meaning:
Think about the person who usually stays calm and doesn't get angry easily. This person might be patient and keep their feelings inside. But if they do get angry, it can be very intense because they've been holding back their emotions for a long time. Imagine a quiet teacher who is always kind and never loses their temper. If one day they shout at the class because they're very upset, the students will probably be very shocked and take it seriously. This shows that even peaceful people can have limits, and when those limits are pushed too far, their reaction can be very strong. Be careful not to take advantage or underestimate someone just because they seem calm; their patience has a breaking point too.
