Me being a compassionate person, I would never hold any grudges against my ex.

Amber Rose

The reason for forgiving your enemies is not for their benefit but for your own benefit. Holding grudges against other people doesn’t hurt them; doesn’t even bother them much - in fact, even pleases them if they are still mad at you. It is not in your enlightened self-interest to hold grudges, regardless of whether it bothers the person you hate or not.

Brad Blanton

It doesn't bother me at all. Do I hold any hard feelings? Not at all, ... Life is too short to sit around and hold grudges. I don't hold any whatsoever.

Kobe Bryant

There's nothing like real forgiveness, a deep-down forgiveness where you don't hold any grudges against people. I forgave for the things they didn't know and for the things they didn't know to do.

Tyler Perry

It's not for me to hold any grudges or anything like that.

Mike Phelan

I am someone who can't hold on to negativity or hold on to grudges. I might feel something at a certain point, but I get tired after that. I don't carry it with me. I forgive and forget very easily, and that's the only way to be happy and peaceful.

You were supposed to have hope, right? You were supposed to respect its power and hold on. And so I did. I held, and held, and let hope fill me. But as the days went on, it seemed I could be holding for a long, long time. Hope could be the most powerful thing or the most useless

Deb Caletti

I learned a long time ago that you need to bury the hatchet. No need to hold grudges. That only weighs you down.

Ken Shamrock

If people don't hold grudges, it means they just don't care what people do.

Fran Lebowitz

I putter. I nurse old grudges. I fold origami while nursing old grudges. I think about the past. I wonder if there’s any grudges I should start.

Roz Chast

What right has a man to ask Jesus to forgive him, when his heart is still burning with hatred or festering with grudges against a fellow-creature? Confession, to be of any avail, must let go of its hold on the sin confessed.

Theodore L. Cuyler

As long as the people persist in voting for or against men on account of their religious views, just so long will hypocrisy hold place and power.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Whenever I call a company and get put on hold, I never really feel like I'm being held.

Randy Glasbergen

I don't think that my particular religious convictions should be held against me in this campaign any more than the Prime Minister's lack of convictions should be held against her.
