Revenge is a dish best served cold

English Proverb
This proverb suggests that emotional detachment and planning ("cold blooded") are best for taking revenge. 
The earliest well-known example of this proverb in print appears as "La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froid" in the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1782) by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. (Dangerous Liaisons)
