REVENGE
|
*
It is essential that justice be done, and it is equally
vital that justice not be confused with revenge, for
the two are wholly different.
-- Oscar
Arias Sanchez

A man
that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
-- Francis Bacon
There
is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.
-- Josh Billings
"The
man who opts for revenge should dig two graves."
-- Chinese proverb
|
Our
country is the world, our countrymen are all mankind.
We love the land of our nativity, only as we love
all other lands. The interests, rights, and liberties
of American citizens are no more dear to us than are
those of the whole human race. Hence we can allow
no appeal to patriotism, to revenge any national insult
or injury.
-- William
Lloyd Garrison

"What
does labor want? We want more schoolhouses and less
jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning
and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice
and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities
to cultivate our better natures, to make manhood more
noble, womanhood more beautiful, and childhood more
happy and bright."
-- Samuel
Gompers

Man
must evolve for all human conflict a method which
rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. --
Martin
Luther King, Jr
In
spite of the fact that the law of revenge solves no
social problems, men continue to follow its disastrous
leading. History is cluttered with the wreckage of
nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating
path."
--
Martin
Luther King, Jr
That
old law about ''an eye for an eye'' leaves everybody
blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.
--
Martin
Luther King, Jr

“When
will our consciences grow so tender that we will
act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?”
-- Eleanor
Roosevelt

Revenge...
is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced
up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence,
and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.
-- Albert
Schweitzer
|
Live
well. It is the greatest revenge.
-- The Talmud
 |

May
we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge
today, but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion.
We are to love our enemies that they might be returned
to their right minds.
-- Marianne
Williamson

Success
is the sweetest revenge.
-- Vanessa Williams
