vengeance quotes

Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.

On wrongs swift vengeance waits.

Control thy passions lest they take vengence on thee.

Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.
