Quote by Orson Scott Card
No, no, no, Hooch told himself silently. Getting even don't amount to nothing in this world. Getting even only gets you behind. The best revenge is to get rich enough to make them all call you sir, that's how you get even with these boys.
Summary
This quote suggests that seeking revenge does not lead to progress or fulfillment. Hooch realizes that trying to "get even" with others will only put him at a disadvantage. Instead, he believes that the ultimate revenge is achieved by becoming successful and wealthy enough for others to show him respect and admiration. This implies that personal success and achievement can serve as a means of surpassing those who have wronged you, rather than solely focusing on revenge as a form of validation or satisfaction.
