"Human beings lose their logic in their vindictiveness"

- Elizabeth Cady Stanton

About this Quote

This quote by Elizabeth Cady Stanton talks to the tendency of people to act out of spite and vengeance rather than factor and reasoning. When we are harmed or wronged, we often act out of a desire to injure the other individual in return, rather than thinking about the repercussions of our actions. This can lead to a cycle of revenge and counter-revenge, with no end in sight. Stanton's quote is a reminder that when we are injured, we ought to take a step back and consider the effects of our actions before we act out of vindictiveness. We should strive to act out of reason and logic, rather than out of a desire for revenge.
