A phrase in the talmud for which the English translation is "live well. it's the greatest revenge". Just like "A Tanna taught: Though a woman be as a pitcher full of filth and her mouth be full of blood, yet all speed after her" is in the talmud in that it's a translation of a talmudic aphorism.Then that should make it really, really easy since surely one of those several 1000 pages would have the location in the talmud, no?
I googled the phrase yesterday and found about 30~40 sites with the quote attributing it to "the Talmud." No Orthodox Jewish or academic pages and not a single mention of the daf
or even the masechta.
And it's not going to even be in the apocryphal Xtian "Talmud Imanuel" since that wouldn't include a discussion on revenge either...
Like I told you, it's not a bad quote at all, and I don't understand why they need to falsely attribute it to Chazal.
how's
"Live well, it's the best revenge" - traditional ?
