For as for the first wrong, it doth but offend the law; but the revenge of that wrong putteth the law to of office.

And Salomon, I am sure, saith, It is the glory of a man to pass by an offence.

While an initial wrong breaks the law, revenge weakens the authority of law itself. A person who takes revenge only becomes equal to his enemy, but one who forgives becomes superior. Bacon advises people not to dwell on past injuries because wise individuals focus on the present and future. He also points out that people usually commit wrongs for their own benefit, pleasure, or honor, not simply for the sake of doing evil. main text:part-02 pricks and scratch, because they can do no other. The most tolerable sort of revenge is for those wrongs which there is no law to remedy but then let a man take heed the revenge be such as there is no law to punish; else a man\’s enemy is still forehand, and it is two for one. Some, when they take revenge, are desirous the party should know whence it cometh. This is the more generous. For the delight seemeth to be not so much in doing the hurt as in making the party repent. But base and crafty cowards are like the arrow that flieth in the dark.

BACON SELECTED ESSAYS main text:part-01 Short Summary  In this passage, Francis Bacon argues that marriage and family life help develop human kindness, responsibility, and moral discipline. He believes that unmarried men may be more generous with money, but they are often less compassionate because they lack the emotional responsibilities that come with family life. Bacon praises wise and loving husbands and suggests that a wife is more likely to be faithful and obedient if she respects her husband\’s wisdom. He also describes the different roles of wives at different stages of a man\’s life—as a lover in youth, a companion in middle age, and a caregiver in old age. Finally, he observes that good wives are often married to bad husbands and that women who choose their husbands against advice often try hard to justify their choice.
