Thoughts on revenge:

By taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing over it, he is superior.

There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.
~Josh Billings (1818 - 1885)~

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. ~Mahatma Gandhi~

Live well. It is the greatest revenge. ~The Talmud~

A man that studies revenge keeps his own wounds green.
~Francis Bacon~

Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst. ~ Walter Weckler ~

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
~Confucious~

Another I might add:

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned." - Buddha

God also said that revenge and justice are for Him, not for man to decide. And let he that hath not sin cast the first stone.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold" - old Klingon proverb.
