Be ye angry and sin not -Ephesians 4:26.

Getting even is dumb, no one gets even.

You may get even but it won't give you joy. A wise man avoids getting mad in the first place.

I never liked this one. . .even as a kid. I was more of the idea of, "Don't get mad- win."

I have heard that one a lot, but I'm not sure that I would classify it as a wise saying. Revenge begets revenge. I have another aphorism - Revenge is a dish best served not at all!

Maybe not always the best thing, but sometimes you just have to get even, consequences be damned.

First rule of real politics, and whether the politically correct like it or not, a pretty good rule of life.

I think it's human nature to want revenge. How can you have something bad done to you and not want to get back at the doer? Even the more enlightened of us if being completely honest must say that they have at least thought about it. Acting on that thought is another thing.

I'll give it a 3 coz it's easy to dance to. Related: Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Tempting but scary. Sure there are times I would love to get even with someone I felt has wronged me. thing is it could lead to a whole lot of trouble. Now they will try and get even with me and it could get dangerous. Not so sure I would give this advice to someone. got to admit if someone has done something nasty to me there is that part of me that may wish a bit of bad luck on them.

Not the right solution. Just doing the right thing is a victory enough.
