Your my hero now.
Among his other sayings that are relevant to this discussion
Abuse if you slight it, will gradually die away; but if you show yourself irritated, you will be thought to have deserved it.
All enterprises that are entered into with indiscreet zeal may be pursued with great vigor at first, but are sure to collapse in the end.
He that fights and runs away, May turn and fight another day; But he that is in battle slain, Will never rise to fight again.
It belongs to human nature to hate those you have injured
