"A man who uses force is afraid of reasoning."
"He who does not know one thing knows another." "The lion's story is not told in the jungle." "Unity is strength, division is weakness." "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." "The lion is not the king of the jungle, but the one who knows how to roar." |
