Quote by Oscar Wilde

Always forgive your enemies -- nothing annoys them so much.

Always forgive your enemies -- nothing annoys them so much.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that forgiving one's enemies can actually upset them more than seeking vengeance. Instead of seeking revenge or harboring resentment, forgiving enemies can disconcert them because it denies them the reaction or satisfaction they might expect. By choosing forgiveness, one not only promotes a sense of personal growth and emotional well-being but also disrupts their enemy's expectations and potentially disarms them in the process. It hints at the power of forgiveness as a way to navigate conflicts and frustrate those who may antagonize or oppose us.

Let no one be discouraged by the belief that there is nothin

Let no one be discouraged by the belief that there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills -- against misery and ignorance, injustice and violence... Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation...It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man (or a woman) stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he (or she) sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
