I guess I'm rather self-destructive, and I like to give other people who are self-destructive a song to sing.

Nico

The vision of the left, full of envy and resentment, takes its worst toll on those at the bottom - whether black or white - who find in that paranoid vision an excuse for counterproductive and ultimately self-destructive attitudes and behavior.

Thomas Sowell

You spend hours alone, only with your thoughts, and you torture yourself. It's a tendency of many writers to temper the self-destructive act of writing with other self-destructive acts. I certainly was one of those people for a long time.

Ben Gibbard

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

Suarez? I bear no grudges.

Giorgio Chiellini

I bear no grudges. I have a mind that retains nothing.

Bette Midler

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

Because even if they are doing something immoral, I'd be an idiot to start criticizing them for it if I wasn't perfect myself. Smoking is self-destructive. Drinking is self-destructive. Losing your temper and yelling at people is wrong. Lying is wrong. Cheating is wrong. Stealing is wrong. But people do that stuff all the time. Soon as I figure out how to be a perfect human being, then I'm qualified to go lecture other people about how they live their lives.

Jim Butcher

Independent self-reliant people would be a counterproductive anachronism in the collective society of the future where people will be defined by their associations.

John Dewey

Don't hold grudges; it's pointless. Jealousy too is a non-cathartic, negative emotion. .

John Milton

The ancestor of every destructive action, every destructive decision, is a negative thought.

Eknath Easwaran

They don’t think “I care,” “I hurt,” or “I have feelings.” It just seems like I’m always “wrong,” always “selfish,” always “self-centered” and everything else that’s negative and destructive.

Beatrice Sparks

Even cynical, selfish people will realize, one way or the other, that it's not in their self-interest to act in self-destructive ways.

David Grinspoon

I think it's a very central tenet to it yes, it is. I can't bear it, I can't bear inequality, I can't bear bad behaviour to other people. I cannot bear it that people are mean to people who can't help what they are.
