Count the cost before you commit yourselves.
The Bowman and Lion
A VERY SKILLFUL BOWMAN went to the mountains in search
of game, but all the beasts of the forest fled at his approach. The
Lion alone challenged him to combat. The Bowman immediately
shot out an arrow and said to the Lion: "I send thee my messenger,
that from him thou mayest learn what I myself shall be when I
assail thee." The wounded Lion rushed away in great fear, and
when a Fox who had seen it all happen told him to be of good
courage and not to back off at the first attack he replied: "You
counsel me in vain; for if he sends so fearful a messenger, how
shall I abide the attack of the man himself?'
Be on guard against men who can strike from a distance.
The Camel
WHEN MAN first saw the Camel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he was so frightened at his vast
size that he ran away. After a time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], perceiving the meekness and
gentleness of the beast's temper, he summoned courage enough to
approach him. Soon afterwards, observing that he was an animal
altogether deficient in spirit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he assumed such boldness as to
put a bridle in his mouth, and to let a child drive him.
Use serves to overcome dread.
