    “A man renowned for repartee
    Will seldom scruple to make free
    With friendship’s finest feeling,
    Will thrust a dagger at your breast,
    And say he wounded you in jest,
    By way of balm for healing.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    “To take revenge halfheartedly is to court disaster: Either condemn or crown your hatred.”
