The choleric drinks, the melancholic eats, the phlegmatic sleeps. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

From a choleric man withdraw a little; from him that says nothing, for ever. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Wine often turns the good-natured man into an idiot, and the choleric into an assassin. [ Addison ]

His tongue, like the tail of Samson's foxes, carries firebrands, and is enough to set the whole field of the world on a flame. Himself begins table-talk of his neighbor at another's board, to whom he bears the first news, and adjures him to conceal the reporter; whose choleric answer he returns to his first host, enlarged with a second edition; so as it used to be done in the fight of unwilling mastiffs, he claps each on the side apart, and provokes them to an eager conflict. [ Bishop Hall ]
