of narrow souls; they feed it with all their littlenesses, and make it the pretext of base tyrannies.--BALZAC. It is the nature of the human disposition to hate him whom you have injured.--TACITUS. Life is too short to spare an hour of it in the indulgence of this evil passion.--LAMARTINE. The hatred we bear our enemies injures their happiness less than our own.--J. PETIT-SENN. The hatred of persons related to each other is the most violent. --TACITUS. When our hatred is too keen it places us beneath those we hate. --LA ROCHEFOUCAULD.
