Revenge Quotes - page 19

They abhor the courage of manly men. They hate the man who thinks. They long for revenge. They warm their hands at the imaginary fires of hell. (Robert G. Ingersoll)
It makes man an eternal victim and God an eternal fiend. It is the one infinite horror. Every church in which it is taught is a public curse. Every preacher who teaches it is an enemy of mankind. Below this Christian dogma, savagery cannot go. It is the infinite of malice, hatred, and revenge. Nothing could add to the horror of hell, except the presence of its creator, God. View quote
Robert G. Ingersoll
The idea of hell was born of ignorance, brutality, fear, cowardice, and revenge. View quote
Robert G. Ingersoll
... if you rejoice in revenge, torture, and war [...] you cannot say you're a follower of the guy who explicitly said "love your enemies" and "do good to those who hate you". The next line isn't, "And if that doesn't work, send a titanium-fanged dog to rip his nuts off". Jesus lays on that hippie stuff pretty thick! He has lines like, "do not repay evil with evil", and "do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you." View quote
Bill Maher
Pettiness seems to go hand in hand with vindictiveness. The smaller the person, the larger the need for revenge. This may account for the fact that some consensual crimes have stiffer penalties than do most crimes with innocent victims. View quote
Peter McWilliams
for when women take revenge, it is with all their hearts and souls, not to mention considerable inventiveness and ingenuity. View quote
Alice Borchardt

Francisco Luís Gomes

Bobby Seale
Sweet is revenge - especially to women. View quote
Lord Byron
The higher conception of "no revenge for wrongs," and of freely giving more than one expects to receive from his neighbours, is proclaimed as being the real principle of morality - a principle superior to mere equivalence, equity, or justice, and more conducive to happiness. And man is appealed to to be guided in his acts, not merely by love, which is always personal, or at the best tribal, but by the perception of his oneness with each human being. In the practice of mutual aid, which we can retrace to the earliest beginnings of evolution, we thus find the positive and undoubted origin of our ethical conceptions; and we can affirm that in the ethical progress of man, mutual support - not mutual struggle - has had the leading part. In its wide extension, even at the present time, we also see the best guarantee of a still loftier evolution of our race. View quote
Peter Kropotkin
That is why individuals and peoples need a "healing of memories”. This does not mean that they have to forget past events. Rather, they have to learn to look at them in a new way. Instead of remaining prisoners of the past, they have to recover their freedom to forgive. As the pope says: "The deadly cycle of revenge must be replaced by the new-found liberty of forgiveness.”. (Kurien Kunnumpuram)
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. View quote
Jeremy Taylor

Mac Maharaj
We have defeated Gaddafi on the battlefield; now we must defeat him in our imagination. We must not allow his legacy to corrupt our dream. Let's keep focused on the true prize: unity, democracy, and the rule of law. Let's not seek revenge; that would diminish our future. View quote
Hisham Matar
The criminal law stands to the passion of revenge in much the same relation as marriage to the sexual appetite. View quote
James Fitzjames Stephen
My revenge is living well... I want to go get on a freighter and go through the Panama Canal. All I've ever wanted in my life is freedom and access. I like being backstage and watching the weird, human drama of all of these strange personalities that politics attracts. View quote
Mike Murphy (political consultant)
In thee thy mother dies, our household's name, My death's revenge, thy youth, and England's fame. View quote
William Shakespeare
You cannot make gross sins look clear To revenge is no valour, but to bear. View quote
William Shakespeare
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will make a ton of money, Michael Bay will be lauded as the greatest director of our generation, and the accountants at Paramount will have their second collective orgasm in as many months. As for me, I will try desperately not to weep - not so much for what the success of a movie like this means to motion pictures, but for the simple fact that I'm going to have to do this all over again in two or three years for Transformers 3.

James Berardinelli
What do we call love, hate, charity, revenge, humanity, forgiveness Different results of the master impulse, the necessity of securing one's self-approval. (Mark Twain)
Therein lies the defect of revenge it's all in the anticipation the thing itself is a pain, not a pleasure at least the pain is the biggest end of it. View quote
Mark Twain
Lord Jesus, engrave Thou Thy name with Thine own finger upon my heart, that it may remain closed to wordly joy and worldly pleasure, self-interest, fading honor, and low revenge, and open only to Thee. View quote
Christian Scriver
