Move slowly and the day of your revenge will come, " Tuek said. "Speed is a device of Shaitan. Cool your sorrow—we’ve the diversions for it; three things there are that ease the heart—water, green grass, and the beauty of woman.

About This Quote

A man is advised to move slowly in order to exact his revenge. He needs to be patient. He needs to wait until the time is right. Often, revenge is taken out of anger or haste.

It is often taken out of a sudden fit of rage. The wronged person often regrets taking revenge, but the person who is being revenged on will never regret taking action.
