Hath any wronged thee? be bravely revenged; slight it, and the work is begun; forgive it, and it is finished; he is below himself that is not above an injury.
In today’s wordsHas someone wronged you? Take the brave revenge: shrug it off and you've begun, forgive it and you've finished. A person who can't rise above an injury lowers himself.
