Wrongs are often forgiven; but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever.

Wrongs are often forgiven; but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever.

Lord Chesterfield

Forgiveness, Pride, Forever

"Letters to His Son on the Art of Becoming a Man of the World and a Gentleman". Book by Lord Chesterfield, 1774.

Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever. It implies a discovery of weakness, which we are more careful to conceal than a crime. Many a man will confess his crimes to a friend; but I never knew a man that would tell his silly weaknesses to his most intimate one.

Lord Chesterfield

Forgiveness, Silly, Pride
