Quotable Sunday - #12


Toni at A Daily Dose of Toni hosts Quotable Sunday each week. This week I have decided to do quotes on hate, as I am currently the "victim" of a cyber bully who hates me for no apparent reason. This guy logs on just to harass me!!

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

Hate less, live longer.
-Ivy Culler

Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
-Richard M. Nixon

I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
-Booker T. Washington

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

These are all so true. Hate ends up literally eating away at the person harboring the hate. Sorry to hear you've got a bully. I've had them too :(

Hate destroys the hater. Okay, it's not too good for the victim, either! I'm not quite up on how blogspot works. Do you have a filter that will allow you to have this bully's comments directed straight to your spam folder?

I wish you saftey and your cyber bully peace.

I am saving this quote because it sums up my philosophy so well.

I too am currently being harassed by someone online. Sadly this is a man who harmed me in my past & is now using the internet to inflict more pain. People like that are just sad.
