"...know that I shall never alter my ways, not even if I have to die many times.
... if you kill such an one as I am, you will injure yourselves more than you will injure me.... it is not in the nature of things that a bad man should injure a better than himself. I do not deny that he may, perhaps, kill him, or drive him into exile, or deprive him of civil rights; and he may imagine, and others may imagine, that he is doing him a great injury: but in that I do not agree with him; for the evil of doing as Anytus is doing--of unjustly taking away another man's life --is greater far." Socrates, "The Trial and Death of Socrates."
Without menses-malice.
