Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.

William Penn

Watch against anger; neither speak of it nor act in it; for, like drunkenness, it makes a man a beast, and throws people into desperate inconvenience.

A man, like a watch, is to be valued for his manner of going.

A passionate man is like a weak spring, that cannot stand long locked.
