Rudyard KiplingI have joyfully done much evil in my life to those who have wished me evil (General Maximus)
About This Quote
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Some people choose to do evil to others, but there are no regrets in doing evil when it comes to those who have wished you evil. When you have done good to others, there is no greater joy than the joy that comes from knowing that when you fall, someone is there to pick you up.
