Quotes about Hate


Ther n’ is no werkman whatever he be,
That may both werken wel and hastily.
This wol be done at leisure parfitly.

Geoffrey Chaucer

Entire affection hateth nicer hands.

Edmund Spenser

I hate the day, because it lendeth light
To see all things, but not my love to see.

Edmund Spenser

Farewell! a long farewell, to all my greatness!
This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honours thick upon him;
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured,
Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,
This many summers in a sea of glory,
But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride
At length broke under me and now has left me,
Weary and old with service, to the mercy
Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me.
Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye:
I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched
Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours!
There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have:
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again.

William Shakespeare

Love thyself last: cherish those hearts that hate thee;
Corruption wins not more than honesty.
Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace,
To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not:
Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's,
Thy God's, and truth's; then if thou fall'st, O Cromwell,
Thou fall'st a blessed martyr!

William Shakespeare

But when I tell him he hates flatterers,
He says he does, being then most flattered.

William Shakespeare

Vex not his ghost: O, let him pass! he hates him much
That would upon the rack of this tough world
Stretch him out longer.

William Shakespeare

I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.
He hates our sacred nation, and he rails,
Even there where merchants most do congregate.

William Shakespeare

There is no hate lost between us.

Thomas Middleton

This principle is old, but true as fate,--
Kings may love treason, but the traitor hate.

Thomas Dekker

Whatever sceptic could inquire for,
For every why he had a wherefore.

Samuel Butler

What though the field be lost?
All is not lost; th' unconquerable will,
And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield.

John Milton

Nor love thy life, nor hate; but what thou liv'st
Live well: how long or short permit to heaven.

John Milton

Hence, ye profane! I hate ye all,
Both the great vulgar and the small.

Abraham Cowley

Whate'er he did was done with so much ease,
In him alone 't was natural to please.

John Dryden

Arms and the man I sing, who, forced by fate
And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate.

John Dryden

Whatever is, is in its causes just.

John Dryden

"Whatever is, is not," is the maxim of the anarchist, as often as anything comes across him in the shape of a law which he happens not to like.

Richard Bentley

I hate nobody: I am in charity with the world.

Jonathan Swift

All nature is but art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction, which thou canst not see;
All discord, harmony not understood;
All partial evil, universal good;
And spite of pride, in erring reason's spite,
One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right.

Alexander Pope

Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.

Alexander Pope

For forms of government let fools contest;
Whate'er is best administer'd is best.
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight;
His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.
In faith and hope the world will disagree,
But all mankind's concern is charity.

Alexander Pope

O happiness! our being's end and aim!
Good, pleasure, ease, content! whate'er thy name:
That something still which prompts the eternal sigh,
For which we bear to live, or dare to die.

Alexander Pope

O thou! whatever title please thine ear,
Dean, Drapier, Bickerstaff, or Gulliver!
Whether thou choose Cervantes' serious air,
Or laugh and shake in Rabelais' easy-chair.

Alexander Pope

Not hate, but glory, made these chiefs contend;
And each brave foe was in his soul a friend.

Alexander Pope
