You Have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust." Matthew 5:43-45 ↗

It is just a minor breach of etiquette. The company must sit and salivate. The Boleyns are laid at his hand to be carved. ↗

Bide your time and strike back when you’re in a position of strength—even if you no longer need to strike back. ↗
