Justice lay on the edge o his blessed sword, but revenge - sweet as candy - filled his senses." The Bow of Destiny

P. H. Solomon
About This Quote

The words are written in the old Norse language, but the meaning is the same. The choice between justice and revenge is constant when dealing with people who have done wrong to you. There are two things you can do about it: You can let them get away with what they’ve done or you can kill them. The choice is yours, but this quote reminds us that justice is not always justice. Some people are just lucky enough to get away with everything they do.
