An infallible way of conciliating a tiger is to let oneself be devoured. We fight to great disadvantage when we fight with those who have nothing to lose. The writing-brush leaves its mark. To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, Gives in your weakness strength unto your foe. Bad men hate sin through fear of punishment.
Good men hate sin through their love of virtue.
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of a wise man.
