Resentment - Best Quote Ever

Sunday, October 18, 2026 10:33

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Today’s post was inspired by my Darling Hubby’s weekly “Happy Friday” to his subscribers.

He often comes up with great quotations to end his remarks. The one he used last week is the one I snagged for today. These words of wisdom come from Nelson Mandela.

You’ll love it.

“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”

When I read that, I laughed, but at the same time I thought, how very true. I’ve never understood people who can hold a grudge for a lifetime.

I’ve laughed at Sheldon Cooper and his list of mortal enemies on The Big Bang Theory, but there are people like that in real life. I know someone who quarreled with his mother and one of his sisters and went for years without speaking to them. I don’t know what the argument was, but I was pleased when the feud was over and they were speaking again.

TAKEAWAY TRUTH

Life is short, and the older one gets, the shorter life becomes. Why waste precious time and energy keeping resentment and hatred alive?
