Holding resentment is like swallowing poison and waiting for someone else to die.

There's a bag of raw chicken sitting on my kitchen floor.
Do you resent me for getting to live in New England and wear tweed whenever I want (and look good doing it)? I resent you for getting to look down on people physically, not just metaphorically like myself.

I think it was Malachy McCourt who said that great quote.
And I am reminded of this one from Oscar Wilde: “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
By the way, Ryan, who taught you to wear tweed and make it look good? It sure wasn't H. Eric Clark. ; )

That's a great quote, and some have given Malachy McCourt credit for it. It made me think of this one from Camus: "To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others." I think he was on to something.

I've heard that quote from the great Oscar. I also like this sentiment:
"Consistency is the first refuge of the unimaginative."
