Vengeance Quotations
If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared. Niccolo Machiavelli Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged. Samuel Johnson 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. Niccolo Machiavelli I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell. William Tecumseh Sherman On wrongs swift vengeance waits. Alexander Pope |
