“It is often better not to see an insult than to avenge it”
Seneca
“Union of the weakest develops strength not wisdom. Can all men, together, avenge one of the leaves that have fallen in autumn? But the wise man avenges by building his city in snow.”
Wallace Stevens
“And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.”
Bible
“The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.”
“Follow me if I advance, kill me if I retreat, avenge me if I die”
Mary Matalin
“We came out really pumped. We had a tough game last year and wanted (to avenge it).”
Melissa Richardson
“We've avenged all we can of Hitler's wickedness ... we must now look at the equal or greater wickedness that we've seen in the genocide in Cambodia, in the military killers of Latin America, in the blackness of the hideousness of African dictators like Idi Amin , ... The Justice Game.”
