Quote by Steve Perry

The injury that we do to a man must be such that we need not fear his vengeance.

The injury that we do to a man must be such that we need not

Summary

This quote suggests that if we harm or injure someone, we should ensure that the damage is done in such a way that the person is incapable of seeking revenge. It implies that the harm inflicted should be severe enough to incapacitate them emotionally, physically, or socially, making them powerless to retaliate. The quote emphasizes the desire to prevent any potential backlash by rendering the person completely helpless or demoralized as a result of the injury inflicted upon them. However, it also raises ethical questions about seekinge vengeance and the morality of causing harm intentionally.
