A Quote by Samuel Johnson

Men hate more steadily than they love. — © Samuel Johnson
Men hate more steadily than they love.
I detect more good than evil in humanity. Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, And men grow better as the world grows old.
They hate kings, they hate priests, they hate soldiers, they hate sailors. They distrust men of science, they denounce the middle classes, they despair of working men, but they adore humanity. Only they always speak of humanity as if it were a curious foreign nation. They are dividing themselves more and more from men to exalt the strange race of mankind. They are ceasing to be human in the effort to be humane.
One can write out of love or hate. Hate tells one a great deal about a person. Love makes one become the person. Love, contrary to legend, is not half as blind, at least for writing purposes, as hate. Love can see the evil and not cease to be love. Hate cannot see the good and remain hate. The writer, writing out of hatred, will, thus, paint a far more partial picture than if he had written out of love.
Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, and men grow better as the world grows old.
To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.
We learn more when we hate than when we love, because hate is eternally awake, but love is everlastingly asleep.
There was always a love-hate relationship with New York in the rest of the country, but I made them feel more love than hate.
Love is a word that is constantly heard, Hate is a word that is not. Love, I am told, is more precious than gold. Love, I have read, is hot. But hate is the verb that to me is superb, And Love but a drug on the mart. Any kiddie in school can love like a fool, But Hating, my boy, is an Art.
How much more proof does anyone need to see to know that there is more to GAIN from loving each other and being good to all people -- than from hating and envying each other? When we continue to hate, we continue to LOSE. When we amplify mutual respect and LOVE, we have a lot to gain! Quite simply, there is more to gain through love than hate.
Peoples are made of hate and of love, and more of hate than love.
Love commingled with hate is more powerful than love. Or hate.
We value men more than women... straight love more than gay love... white skin more than black skin... and adults more than adolescents.
Let us consider the polarity of love and hate.... Now, clinical observation shows not only that love is with unexpected regularityaccompanied by hate (ambivalence), and not only that in human relationships hate is frequently a forerunner of love, but also that in many circumstances hate changes into love and love into hate.
Some who campaign against hate, seem to hate the Brexit party more than they love peace.
Smile more than you cry, Give more than you take, and Love more than you Hate.
I can tell you that you will have your hearts broken more by the people you love than by the people you hate. But you must still dare to love. The rewards are worth far more than the risks.
