"Hating someone is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat. Invest your energy into something more worthwhile."

Previous Quote

We have to be faster in calming down a resentment than putting out a fire, because the consequences of the first are infinitely more dangerous than the results of the last; fire ends burning down some houses at the most, while the resentment can cause cruel wars, with the ruin and total destruction of nations.
