"Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter, ere long, back on itself recoils." "Tis easier for the generous to forgive, Than for offence to ask it."
A minute passed while she stood, rapidly seizing every indication that might later assist her. Then she moved slightly and said in a voice of quiet sadness: "Jackie." "Great God!"

My very soul recoils from the thought that she who can so insult, ever had the power to confer benefits upon me.
Mill recoils, and, giving logic to the winds, he trusts that God is love indeed, And love Creation's final law, Though Nature, red in tooth and claw With ravin, shrieks against his creed.
The means by which he acquired all this were robbery, trickery, blood, and murder. Whatever was bad and vicious, corrupt and shameful, this the Mameluke practised without fear or hesitation. His virtue was that intrepidity, that courage, that boldness, that recoils from nothing, from no danger, from no abyss; that yields to nothing, and to which nothing is sacred.
But the mind recoils at once upon the slightest trace of human imperfection which he discovers in the object of his adoration, because that which is only comparatively great cannot subdue the heart. Power alone, however terrible or without limit we may suppose it to be, can never confer majesty.
