It Costs More to Revenge Injuries than to Bear Them

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

“See these poor fools into anger falling, / What hateful raging, tearing, mauling; / And all for what? for some small insult given, / The fool into mad revenge is driven: / Better by far, of jeers no notice take, / Than foot the cost that fell revenge will make."—Barber, 1857
