Quote by Norman Vincent Peale

Resentment or grudges do no harm to the person against whom you hold these feelings but every day and every night of your life, they are eating at you.

Resentment or grudges do no harm to the person against whom

Summary

This quote emphasizes how holding onto resentment or grudges ultimately harms oneself more than the person it is directed towards. While these negative feelings have no effect on the person they are aimed at, they gradually consume the individual who harbors them. This highlights how resentment is a burden that constantly weighs on one's mind and heart, affecting their overall well-being and happiness. The quote serves as a reminder to release such negative emotions in order to find peace and live a more fulfilling life.
