This is the quote page.
Why seeketh thou revenge O man! With what purpose is it that thou pursuest it? Thinkest thou to pain thine adversary by it? Know that thou thyself feelest its greatest torments.
In taking revenge a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over he is superior.
Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.
The divine wrath is slow indeed in vengeance But it makes up for its tardiness by the severity of the punishment.
He that studieth revenge keepeth his own wounds green which otherwise would heal and do well.
Men regard it as their right to return evil for evil – and if they cannot feel they have lost their liberty.
RETRIBUTION n. A rain of fire-and-brimstone that falls alike upon the just and such of the unjust as have not procured shelter by evicting them.
Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
Since we cannot match it let us take our revenge by abusing it.
Follow me if I advance! Kill me if I retreat! Revenge me if I die!
In revenge and in love woman is more barbarous than man.
Time spent in getting even would be better spent in getting ahead.
Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst.
The shoes on the other foot now.
I fear all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.
