Summary

This quote suggests that the most effective way to seek revenge is not by adopting the harmful actions or traits of the one who has wronged us. Rather than stooping down to their level, it emphasizes the importance of rising above and resisting the temptation to mimic their behavior. Instead of seeking vengeance through destructive means, the quote proposes that a more powerful form of retribution can be found in maintaining our own integrity and refusing to be tainted by their actions.

Muhammad professed to derive from Heaven, and he has inserted in the Koran, not only a body of religious doctrines, but political maxims, civil and criminal laws, and theories of science. The gospel, on the contrary, only speaks of the general relations of men to God and to each other - beyond which it inculcates and imposes no point of faith.

How many languages are there in the world? How about 5 billion!
