शिशुपालवध - कोपः

सामवादाः सकोपस्य तस्य प्रत्युत दीपकाः |
प्रतप्तस्येव सहसा सर्पिषस्तोयबिन्दवः ||

- शिशुपालवध

When one is angry we should not try to placate him by talking sensibly and logically. Such talk will only aggravate his anger since it would show that his anger is not justified. If you sprinkle water over hot oil (or ghee) in the pan, it will agitate oil more.
