Resentment
“Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” ― Saint Augustine
Hanging onto resentment?
Silence
“And again she felt alone in the presence of her old antagonist, life.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
The sounds of silence
Meager in praise?
“The really great man is the man who makes every man feel great.” – G. K. Chesterton
Praising others…
Wait and hope
“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.” Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, ‘Wait and Hope.”
― Alexandre Dumas
