Old Klingon Proverb: "Revenge is a dish best served cold."

[Cyril]

I only know french proverbs... and I don't know if there is an english equivalent. My favorite is :

Les cimetières sont remplis de gens indispensables
Cemeteries are full of indispensable people

"By a messenger the wolf is never satisfied."

My mother used to trot out this old Czech proverb, and now I do too. But when I mutter this after my sweetie has not done something to my satisfaction he says "Do it yourself, Wolfie!".
