The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.

The best sort of revenue is not to be like him who did the injury.

To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.

The offender needs pity, not wrath; those who must needs be corrected, should be treated with tact and gentleness; and one must be always ready to learn better. 'The best kind of revenge is, not to become like unto them.'
