“Revenge is not worthy of you. If you concentrate on revenge, you will keep those wounds fresh that would otherwise have healed.”
“This is certain, that a man that studieth revenge keeps his wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.”
“Revenge generates violence that deepens our wounds, but forgiveness heals them.”
“It is useless to meet revenge with revenge; it will heal nothing.”
“Revenge was personal as a rule. Otherwise it was pointless.”
“But what is a memorial, when you come right down to it, but a commemoration of wounds endured? Endured, and resented. Without memory, there can be no revenge.”
