an.1.12 Aṅguttara Nikāya (Numbered Discourses)

12
“Mendicants, I do not see a single thing that gives rise to ill will, or, when it has arisen, makes it increase and grow like the feature of harshness.
When you attend improperly to the feature of harshness, ill will arises, and once arisen it increases and grows.”
