I die adoring God, loving my friends, not hating my enemies, and detesting superstition. [ Voltaire ]

Hannah More said to Horace Walpole: If I wanted to punish an enemy, it should be by fastening on him the trouble of constantly hating somebody. [ John Bate ]

I never listen to calumnies, because, if they are untrue, I run the risk of being deceived, and if they are true, of hating persons not worth thinking about. [ Montesquieu ]

I have never believed that friendship supposed the obligation of hating those whom your friends did not love, and I believe rather it obliges me to love those whom they love. [ Morellet ]
