The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.

To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.

All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion; life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land; the only lasting fame is oblivion.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too.

When another blames you or hates you, or people voice similar criticisms, go to their souls, penetrate inside and see what sort of people they are. You will realize that there is no need to be racked with anxiety that they should hold any particular opinion about you.
