What did our nation ever do to provoke these madly vicious enemies? What is seen as injustice in one place is seen as just requital in the other.
There is as much greatness of mind in the owning of a good turn as in the doing of it; and we must no more force a requital out of season than be wanting in it.
He who acknowledges a kindness has it still, and he who has a grateful sense of it has requited it.
Revenge is a much more punctual paymaster than gratitude
All that is due to us will be paid, although not perhaps by those to whom we have lent.
The golden eye of justice sees, and requites the unjust man.
For our self respect depends upon our ability to make requital, for good or for evil.
