Proverbs 19:11

v. 11. The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; if he always follows the dictates of prudence, he will delay his anger and show all due patience with the erring; and it is his glory, it adds to his honorable reputation, to pass over a transgression, not by condoning and ignoring it, but by keeping it from becoming public property, to be made a morsel of defaming tongues.
