Resenting the obtuseness of others is not good ground for shooting oneself in the foot.
Amartya Sen
Image
Bitterness and resentment only hurt one person, and it's not the person we're resenting - it's us.
Alana Stewart
Image
[from a reader] Whenever I feel myself resenting someone, I reach out. I have made good friends that way.
Amy Dickinson
Image
You could love your crazy people, even admire them, instead of resenting that they're not self-sufficient.
Barbara Kingsolver
Image
Don't try to change people. It won't work, and they will end up resenting you. Only God can change people!
Joyce Meyer
Image
I was still more concerned (a preference which you may be far from resenting) to strike a blow for Epicurus, that great man whose holiness and divinity of nature were not shams, who alone had and imparted true insight into the good, and who brought deliverance to all that consorted with him.
Lucian
Image
The word resentment means to re-feel...to feel again. Someone wrongs or wounds you in resenting it, you re-feel the injury. And you re-hurt yourself. The Hebrew Talmud says that a person who bears a grudge is Like one who, having cut one hand while handling a knife, avenges himself by stabbing the other hand.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
It is natural for the immature to harm others. Getting angry with them is like resenting a fire for burning.
Shantideva
Image
For seven days she lay in bed looking sullenly at the ceiling as though resenting the death she had cultivated for so many years. Like some people who cannot vomit despite horrible nausea, she lay there unable to die, resisting death as she had resisted life, frozen with resentment of process and change.
William S. Burroughs
Image
I went from resenting my mother-in-law to accepting her, finally to appreciating her. What appeared to be her diffidence when I was first married, I now value as serenity.
Ayelet Waldman
Image
We have set out to promote the work of community and faith-based charities. Government cannot be replaced by charities, but it can welcome them as partners instead of resenting them as rivals.
George W. Bush
Image
It is essential that we stop worrying about money and stop resenting our bills.
Louise Hay
Image
None of us can afford to pay the price of resenting...because of what it does to us.
Marion D. Hanks
Image
He who least likes courting favour, ought also least to think of resenting neglect to feel wounded at being refused a distinction can only arise from an overweening appetite to have it.
Plutarch
Image
For nothing is so hard to hear as that which is half known, and evaded. One never denies so hotly as in denying to one's self what one fears is true, and one never resents so bitterly as in resenting that which one cannot say one has the right to resent.
Susan Glaspell
