I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.
A Rattlesnake, if Cornered will become so angry it will bite itself. That is exactly what the harboring of hate and resentment against others is - a biting of oneself. We think we are harming others in holding these spites and hates, but the deeper harm is to ourselves.
Hate must make a man productive. Otherwise one might as well love.
All men kill the thing they hate, too, unless, of course, it kills them first.
Hatred is one long wait.
A precious liquid, a poison dearer than that of the Borgias - because it is made from our blood, our health, our sleep, and two-thirds of our love - we must be stingy with it.
Hate cages all the good things about you.
The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less.
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
Love is blind; hate is deaf.
We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them.
There is a story of an Oxford student who once remarked, "I despise all Americans, but have never met one I didn't like."
If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
If malice or envy were tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang.
You lose a lot of time, hating people.
Love may be blind, but this I'll state - it's eagle-eyed compared to hate.
Hatreds are the cinders of affection.
How wonderful it must be to speak the language of the angels, with no words for hate and a million words for love!
It is to the credit of human nature, that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates. Hatred, by a gradual and quiet process, will even be transformed to love, unless the change be impeded by a continually new irritation of the original feeling of hostility.
Hate is misguided love.
From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.
Take care that no one hates you justly.
Love inverts hate.
End discrimination. Hate everybody.
I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.
