Let any man show the world that he feels Afraid of its bark… - Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton

" "
Let any man show the world that he feels
Afraid of its bark and ’t will fly at his heels:
Let him fearlessly face it, ’t will leave him alone:
But ’t will fawn at his feet if he flings it a bone.
