Just vengeance does not call for punishment.

I don't believe in the death penalty, but I understand personal vengeance.

Vengeance is not the point; change is. But the trouble is that in most people's minds the thought of victory and the thought of punishing the enemy coincide.

Vengeance is the act of turning anger in on yourself. On the surface it may be directed at someone else, but it is a surefire recipe for arresting emotional recovery.

I'm a religious person. I remember my mom told me: 'Vengeance belongs to God. It's up to him to wreak vengeance.' It's hard for me to get to that point, but that's the work of God.

I want to be indifferent to vengeance. It's degrading. Not having a spirit of vengeance protects me, internally.

Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.

Punishment is not for revenge, but to lessen crime and reform the criminal.

It is up to God to take revenge. Only God can judge. I don't have to worry about getting even with anybody or taking out any kind of aggression on anybody. Doing that is a weakness, anyway.

Punishment is justice for the unjust.
