And according to the 16th Edition:
@A: Herbert, George (1593-1633) *
@Q: Living well is the best revenge.
@R: _Jacula Prudentum_ (1651) no. 524

Prudentum_ is actually a collection of proverbs and proverbial
phrases, so Mr Herbert is probably _not_ the person to come up with
it--and you'll never find out who was...
