Men are more prone to revenge injuries than to requite kindness.
Thomas Fuller
Revenge, at first though sweet,Bitter ere long back on itself recoils.
John Milton
Revenge is barren of itself; itself is the dreadful food it feeds on; its delight is murder, and its saiety, despair.
Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller
Revenge commonly hurts both the offerer and sufferer; as we see in a foolish bee, which in her anger invenometh the flesh and loseth her sting, and so lives a drone ever after.
Joseph Hall
Revenge is a much more punctual paymaster than gratitude
Charles Caleb Colton
Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind.

Seneca
Little, vicious minds abound with anger and revenge, and are incapable of feeling the pleasure of forgiving their enemies.

Therein lies the defect of revenge: it's all in the anticipation; the thing itself is a pain, not a pleasure; at least the pain is the biggest end of it.
Mark Twain
Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.
Josh Billings
The tree of revenge does not carry fruit
