Anytime you try to do something great with your life, there are always going to be others trying to bring you down.

Maybe you’ve got a shot at celebrity, and your name is finally starting to get out there, but the bad reviews are pouring in, and the critics are shouting at you.

Or maybe your situation is a little more common—maybe you are just dealing with some internet trolls on your favorite message board. No matter what form hate takes, it is always hard to deal with.

Hater quotes can remind you that you’re not alone, and that everybody in the world has to deal with haters. Many of these quotes about haters come from ordinary people online who have had to struggle with negativity. Others come from famous celebrities who have gone on to achieve great things in their lives despite the haters who tried to bring them down.

When you read these quotes, you will realize that you too can achieve your dreams, and the fact that you have haters may very well mean that you are actually on your way to success.

After all, other people are taking the time to think about you. Positively or negatively, it means you are making an impact. And that’s something to draw strength from.
