Certainly, in taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior... There is no man doth a wrong for the wrong´s sake; but thereby to purchase himself profit, or pleasure, or honour, or the like. There why should I be angry with a man for loving himself better than me? And if any man should do wrong merely out of ill nature, why, yet it is but like the thorn or briar, which prick and scratch, because they can do no other.
Ett fyrahundra år gammalt citat av Francis Bacon som återges i dagens Financial Times.
