Why does Revenge redirect here? -GregoryWeir 03:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I redirect Revenge here. Justice and Revenge are closely related subjects, and there were not enough "revenge" quotes. Feel free to unredirect if you can find something like 10 revenge quotes. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 07:21, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

RE:

Dolores Ibarruri:
It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees

This quote is from Aeschylus' Agamemnon... line 1383... Ibarruri was borrowing it from the Greeks.....

Shouldn't 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth' be here?

Zoroastrian mills of the gods?

In researching the origin of “the wheels of justice grind slowly” (which I added in this edit), I found this page:

Who said 'The mills of the gods grind slowly but they grind exceedingly small'?

which claims:

"The mill of God grinds slow but grinds exceeding(ly) small" is a verbatim quote from the English translation of the Avestan language hymn book of Zoroastrianism. (Hafiz 546)

This is presumably a reference to the Gathas (that’s the hymn book), and would be interesting as an early form of this sentiment, but I couldn’t find any support or other references (exact wording presumably influenced by Longfellow), so I’ve placed it on this talk page for reference (rather than on main page). If anyone can determine if this is legit (and if so, add it to the main page), it would be much appreciated!
