.....Be angry, but sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.
..........— The Essays or Counsels, Civil and Moral by Francis Bacon (1601), "Of Anger." Bacon is making a reference here to Ephesians 4:26-27: "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil." I've always considered the phrase let not the sun go down upon your anger to be perhaps the best one line piece of advice ever for a successful marriage.
