It is a device of mine never to grudge trouble in the pursuit of what seems to me really good and never to grudge payment for it afterwards.

Georgiana Burne-Jones

I believe in something. But I don't believe that anything can hold a grudge for long enough to condemn its creation to eternal punishment. Nobody can hold a grudge that long, even God.

Chuck Palahniuk

Buddy Hackett

I've never lived in Los Angeles. I've always lived 30 miles away in Long Beach.

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

Booker T. Washington

Gertrude Stein

The Galilean is not a favorite of mine. So far from owing him any thanks for his favor, I cannot avoid confessing that I owe a secret grudge to his carpentership.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

I'm not in favor of the death penalty. But I'm in favor of locking these people away in maximum security units where they can never get out. They can never escape. They can never be paroled. Lock the bad ones away. But you gotta rethink everybody else.

John Grisham

A favor tardily bestowed is no favor; for a favor quickly granted is a more agreeable favor.

Evolution does not necessarily favor the longest-lived. It doesn't necessarily favor the biggest or the strongest or the fastest, and not even the smartest. Evolution favors those creatures best adapted to their environment. That is the sole test of survival and success.

Harvey V. Fineberg

Noam Chomsky

I never was in favor of doing this. No, no, no. I was never in favor of cursing on records and so forth. I wasn't brought up like that. But I needed to survive and make money and get me a piece of show business. So when I found I could hit with this, then I turned to it. And in order to turn to it, you must do it well.
