"The beater forgets the beating, the beaten never do."
Before you ask why "the beaten never does", because it certainly is talking about the group of the beaten. When someones says that, it´s thinking about any and every beaten, not a particular one. Although, at the time of the speaking it applies to him (or someone whom he´s adressing to), for example.
