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 suggests that forgiving your enemies can be a powerful act. By choosing to forgive instead of holding onto resentment or seeking revenge, it can frustrate and irritate your enemies. Forgiveness challenges their expectations and disrupts their desire to cause harm or elicit a negative response from you. Ultimately, it implies that extending forgiveness can be a way to assert control over the situation and prevent their actions from affecting you emotionally.
