Hello all! Can someone please translate the script on this ink stone for me? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! David.

the picture is upside down, the inkstone is recent, apparently a souvenir from Suzhou (the two small characters), but I don't recognize the aphorism offhand.

The four characters, if turn upside down so one can read them properly, from right to left are:

靜思 to think quietly (after clearing one's mind)

制怒 to control one's anger
