On this Rajaji would comment that 'your forbearance will prove your greater worth and disillusion his pride'. According to Valluvar, forbearance is not a negative virtue.

'Only a great soul can be superior to the injury'-(Cato)
'The best revenge is not to copy him that has wronged you'.
(Marcus Aurelius, Book VI-6)
'Unkindness must be treated with kindness'-

(Proverbs 17: 18-19)
