Quote by John Ford

Delay in vengeance delivers a heavier blow.

Delay in vengeance delivers a heavier blow.

Summary

This quote suggests that when revenge is delayed, it can have a more significant impact. The longer someone waits to seek revenge, the more time they have to plan and orchestrate a more devastating and calculated retaliation. By waiting, one can potentially gather more evidence, garner support, and undermine their opponent's defenses, ensuring that their revenge strikes with an even greater force. This quote serves as a reminder that hasty revenge may be impulsive and less effective, while delayed vengeance can be a strategic move to deliver a more substantial blow.
