“Do not avenge yourself. Avoid your enemies if you can. Don’t seek victory over them. If fate brings you to them, well and good. If not, leave them to swing on their own ropes.”

Neil Gaiman

Simplified Meaning:

It's better not to try to get back at people who hurt you. Stay away from them if you can. Don't try to beat them. If you end up meeting them by chance, that's okay. If not, let them deal with their own problems.
