Ecclesiastes 10:4
4 If the ruler’s temper rises against you, do not abandon your position, because composure allays great offenses.
I think this applies when anyone’s temper rises against you. The quickest way to lose an argument, your reputation, your friends, and your self-esteem and self-respect is to lose your composure under pressure. Also, we need to be willing to stand our ground for worthy causes. Second guessing ourselves in the heat of battle is a sure-fire way for your principles to be trampled. If something is that important, stand strong; ask for the Holy Spirit’s assistance. Do not waver.
