A Quote by Socrates

One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.

Greek - Philosopher
469 BC - 399 BC

One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice.

Socrates

It is not noble to return evil for evil, at no time ought we to do an injury to our neighbors.

Plato

One ought not to return injustice, nor do evil to anybody in the world, no matter what one may have suffered from them.

Socrates

Give up salt, give up sugar, give up spices, give up vegetables, give up chutnies, give up tamarind. Serve Bhangis, serve rogues, serve inferiors, remove faecal matter. Do not revenge, resist not evil, return good for evil, bear insult and injury. Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

Sivananda

My neighbour, or my servant, or my child, has done me an injury, and it is just that he should suffer an injury in return. Such is the doctrine which Jesus Christ summoned his whole resources of persuasion to oppose.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

God will not punish the man Who makes return for an injury.

Sophocles

Violence and injury enclose in their net all that do such things, and generally return upon him who began.

Lucretius

All men, or most men, wish what is noble but choose what is profitable; and while it is noble to render a service not with an eye to receiving one in return, it is profitable to receive one. One ought therefore, if one can, to return the equivalent of services received, and to do so willingly; for one ought not to make a man one's friend if one is unwilling to return his favors.

Aristotle

It was the toughest phase of my life. I suffered almost a career-ending injury. Getting through the first phase of my injury was tough.

P. R. Sreejesh

Listen to the Lord's appeal:...Come, then, return to me and learn to know me as your father, who repays good for evil, love for injury, and boundless charity for piercing wounds.

Peter Chrysologus

The return is one of the hardest shots to make when you come back from injury.

Lindsay Davenport

If someone does me injury I must desire that this injury shall not degrade me. I must desire this out of love for him who inflicts it, in order that he may not really have done evil.

Simone Weil

Each injury is different regardless of whether it's the same type of injury, so you have to make sure you're doing it right and doing everything like you should so you come back 100% and don't have to go through all of it again.

Deshaun Watson

I'm interested in the way that terror is almost a psychosomatic state. You may have suffered a small injury for a few seconds, but the rest of the year you're constantly on the alert, your injury is constantly with you - and I mean this on a city-wide scale.

Karan Mahajan

The early Christians made it a part of their religion to look for His return. Backward they looked to the cross and the atonement for sin, and rejoiced in Christ crucified. Upward they looked to Christ at the right hand of God, and rejoiced in Christ interceding. Forward they looked to the promised return of their Master, and rejoiced in the thought that they would see Him again. And we ought to do the same.

J. C. Ryle

Men regard it as their right to return evil for evil and, if they cannot, feel they have lost their liberty.

Aristotle
