Revenge is an admission that we have been hurt
"How far more glorious is it to throw back all wrongs and insults from oneself, like one wearing armour of proof against all weapons, for revenge is an admission that we have been hurt. That cannot be a great mind which is disturbed by injury. He who has hurt you must be either stronger or weaker than yourself. If he be weaker, spare him: if he be stronger, spare yourself."
by Lucius Annaeus Seneca, 1st century c. 41 AD.
Book III, V - Of Anger (De Ira), translated by Aubrey Stewart in 1889.

It is often better to ignore the insult than to avenge it.
