Holding a grudge does not hurt the person against whom the grudge is held, it hurts the one who holds it.

Booker T. Washington

I think one manifestation of integrity is holding a grudge. Saying no is a little different. Holding a grudge is the modern equivalent of having standards.

Fran Lebowitz

Holding a grudge against someone means you think you know what they deserve and you take it upon yourself to give it to them.

Timothy Keller

If you're holding a grudge against somebody over the battle you just went through, you might be working with them on the next bill.

Steve Scalise

The problem with holding a grudge is that your hands are then too full to hold onto anything else. It might be the competition or a technology or the lousy things that someone did a decade ago. None of it is going to get better as a result of revisiting the grudge.

Seth Godin

I guess you could say I'm 'kind' to my past books in the way you might be kind to an old boyfriend you still quite like and bear no grudge against but with whom have absolutely no interest in getting back together.

Lynn Coady

You do Batman right, and he's going to be popular. He's a great character. I was once asked by somebody if writing 'Batman' was like holding a Ming vase or something. And I said, 'No, it's like holding a big-ass diamond that you can't break. You can throw him against the ceiling, against the floor, anywhere, and you just can't break Batman.'

Frank Miller

Robin Williams

The value of holding a grudge. And to always refer to my father sarcastically as Mr. Wonderful.

Jon Stewart

People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.

John Cusack

The problem with holding a grudge is that your hands are then too full to hold onto anything else.

Seth Godin

The writer has a grudge against society, which he documents with accounts of unsatisfying sex, unrealized ambition, unmitigated loneliness, and a sense of local and global distress. The square, overpopulation, the bourgeois, the bomb and the cocktail party are variously identified as sources of the grudge. There follows a little obscenity here, a dash of philosophy there, considerable whining overall, and a modern satirical novel is born.

Renata Adler

Life is uncertain. Eternity is not. Unforgiveness cannot be allowed to last another day. Are you holding a grudge? You will never be more like God than when you forgive. Let it go. Kill the root of bitterness. Let the hurt go and set yourself free.

Craig Groeschel
