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. ----E. Stanley Jones
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. ---James Baldwin
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. ---Herman Hesse
Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.
Henry Emerson Fosdick
Hate is the consequence of fear;
we fear something before we hate it;
a child who fears noises becomes a man who hates noise. ----Cyril Connolly
We hate some persons because we do not know them;
and will not know them because we hate them. ----Charles Caleb Colton
I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him. ---Booker T. Washington
