Quote

I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.

I'm a pretty tough guy, you know. I'm a pretty hard man. I've got a lot of compassion, but I don't waste time with people.

I love life too much to be bitter.

Those who are compassionate when they should be tough will be tough when they should be compassionate.

One feels as if it could never, never be less. And yet all griefs, when there is no bitterness in them, are soothed down by time.

But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.

Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.

I don't think you can ever be bitter about anything, because if you don't allow your heart to stay open, then all you have is a filled heart of hate and bitterness, and you're never able to love or like anybody.
