Growth in wisdom may be exactly measured by decrease in bitterness
Friedrich Nietzsche
Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it
Harry Emerson Fosdick
When our hatred is too bitter it places us below those whom we hate.
FranÃois de la Rochefoucauld
Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes life; love empowers it. Bitterness sours life; love sweetens it. Bitterness sickens life; love heals it. Bitterness blinds life; love anoints its eyes.
Harry Fosdick
One may have been a fool, but there's no foolishness like being bitter.
Kathleen Norris
Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around

It is a simple but sometimes forgotten truth that the greatest enemy to present joy and high hopes is the cultivation of retrospective bitterness.
Robert G. Menzies
Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness
Henry David Thoreau
Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause.
Victor Hugo
Patience is bitter, but it bears sweet fruit.
Turkish Proverb
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself
Max Ehrman
Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet.
German Proverb
Rage and bitterness do not foster femininity. They harden the heart and make the body sick.
Marion Woodman
He had never disagreed with anyone in his life, no matter how unfairly they may have treated him. He preferred to swallow his tears, suppress his anger and bitterness; he would bear anything rather than oppose a person directly. Nor did it ever occur to him to wonder whether this forbearance might not be harmful to others.
Li Yaotang
My cup of sweets is not unmingled: it is dashed with a bitterness that I cannot hide from myself, disguise it as I will.
Anne Bront
