1.Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat. ~Henry Emerson Fosdick
2.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.
3.I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
4.We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them.
5.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.
6.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.
7.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.
