If you are affronted it is better to pass it by in silence, or with a jest, though with some dishonor, than to endeavor revenge. if you can keep reason above passion, that and watchfulness will be your best defenders.

If You Are Affronted It Is Better

Isaac Newton
If you are affronted it is better to pass it by in silence, or with a jest, though with some dishonor, than to endeavor revenge. if you can keep reason above passion, that and watchfulness will be your best defenders.

Revenge Passion Silence

More From Isaac Newton

Simply coming to the perpetrator and delivering the message is nozick's definition of revenge. and in that sense, adi is exacting revenge. when people ask, "does adi want revenge?" - they mean violent revenge. but in nozick's formulation, it is revenge. that is the essence of revenge.
Revenge Mean Essence
Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.

Passion makes the old medicine new: passion lops off the bough of weariness. passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Motivational Positive Leadership
You cannot lead without passion. passion causes things to move, and passion creates a force multiplier. passion actually covers a multitude of sins. real entreleaders care deeply, and that is basically what passion is. passion is not yelling or being wild; it is simply caring deeply.
Real Moving Passion
Silence is difficult and arduous; it is not to be played with. it isn't something that you can experience by reading a book, or by listening to a talk, or by sitting together, or by retiring into a wood or a monastery. i am afraid none of these things will bring about this silence. this silence demands intense psychological work. you have to be burningly aware - aware of your speech, aware of your snobbishness, aware of your fears, your anxieties, your sense of guilt. and when you die to all that, then out of that dying comes the beauty of silence.

What i wish is that people would look beyond the tribbles and see i've written some other books that i really would like people to notice. there's the man who folded himself, there's the martian child, which is about my son and the adoption. there's the war against the chtorr, which is my magnum opus, my great epic story.

When i would sell encyclopedias, i would drive down the road looking for a house with a swing set in the back, and i'd say, "oh, those folks got kids. they need some books." i'd knock on their door and sell them a set of encyclopedias, and those books were from $300 to $600. i'd look around the house, and if there wasn't that much furniture in the house, i felt a little bad about selling a $600 set of books to people who couldn't afford a couch. so i didn't last at that job very long.
