Hatred ever kills, love never dies. Such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.

—Mohandas Gandhi

You lose a lot of time hating people.

—Marian Anderson

Hate and force cannot be in just a part of the world without having an effect on the rest of it.

 —Eleanor Roosevelt

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.

—Eric Hoffer

But the greatest menace to our civilization today is the conflict between giant organized systems of self-righteousness — each system only too delighted to find that the other is wicked — each only too glad that the sins give it the pretext for still deeper hatred and animosity.

 —Herbert Butterfield

Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.

—Bertrand Russell

Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through love. This is an unalterable law.

—Buddha

Hatred is settled anger.

—Marcus Tullius Cicero

The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life.

 —The Dalai Lama

 In our age there is no such thing as “keeping out of politics.” All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.

—George Orwell

Hatred corrodes the vessel in which it is stored.

—Chinese proverb
