Hate destroys the hater.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hate destroys the very structure of the personality of the hater. [...] when you start hating anybody, it destroys the very center of your creative response to life and the universe; so love everybody.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hate destroys the very structure of the personality of the hater.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater. Keep your thoughts free from hate, and you need have no fear from those who hate you.

George Washington Carver

Hate is just as injurious to the hater as it is to the hated. Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Many of our inner conflicts are rooted in hate. This is why the psychiatrists say, "Love or perish." Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

There's another reason why you should love your enemies, and that is because hate distorts the personality of the hater. We usually think of what hate does for the individual hated or the individuals hated or the groups hated. But it is even more tragic, it is even more ruinous and injurious to the individual who hates. [...] For the person who hates, the true becomes false and the false becomes true. That's what hate does.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.

Madeleine L'Engle

There is something to that old saying that hate injures the hater, not the hated.

Wes Fesler

Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.

Coretta Scott King

The hated man is the result of his hater's pride rather than his hater's conscience.

I hate television. I hate the internet. I hate cell phones. I hate cameras. I hate everything that destroys creativity.

Billie Joe Armstrong

I don't hate myself anymore. I used to hate my work, hated that sexy image, hated those pictures of me onstage, hated that big raunchy person. Onstage, I'm acting the whole time I'm there. As soon as I get out of those songs, I'm Tina again.
