Quotes about Resentment

People often grudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves.

To find gratitude and generosity when you could reasonably find hurt and resentment will surprise you. It will be so surprising because you will see so much of the opposite: people who have much more than others yet who react with anger when one advantage is lost or with resentment when an added gift is denied.

Those who know their unworthiness seize grace as a hungry man seizes bread: the self-righteous resent grace.

Resentment or grudges do no harm to the person against whom you hold these feelings but every day and every night of your life, they are eating at you.

Resentment is an evil so costly to our peace that we should find it more cheap to forgive even were it no more right.
