Quote by Jonathan Anthony Burkett

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond who you were.

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to gro

Summary

This quote is suggesting that anger is a limiting emotion that diminishes oneself, whereas forgiveness has the power to transform and expand one's personal growth. When someone holds onto anger, it consumes their energy and narrows their perspective, making them smaller in their outlook. On the other hand, forgiving someone requires one to rise above their hurt and resentment, enabling them to evolve and surpass their previous self-imposed limitations. By letting go of anger and embracing forgiveness, an individual can open the door to personal growth and become a better version of themselves.

Stella, the only planet of my light,Light of my life, and life of my desire,Chief good, whereto my hope doth only aspire,World of my wealth, and heav'n of my delight:Why dost thou spend the treasure of thy sprite,With voice more fit to wed Amphion's lyre,Seeking to quench in me the noble fireFed by thy worth, and kindled by thy sight?And all in vain, for while thy breath most sweet,With choicest words, thy words with reasons rare,Thy reasons firmly set on Virtue's feet,Labor to kill in me this killing care:Oh, think I then, what paradise of joyIt is, so fair a Virtue to enjoy.
