“I consider it a mark of great prudence in a man to abstain from threats or any contemptuous expressions, for neither of these weaken the enemy, but threats make him more cautious, and the other excites his hatred, and a desire to revenge himself”
Niccolo Machiavelli“Those that are the loudest in their threats are the weakest in their actions.”
Charles Caleb Colton“There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats; For I am armed so strong in honesty That they pass by me as the idle wind”
William ShakespeareLife can be a little scary sometimes but I have confidence that God will see us through.
I like these quotes. The colton quote is not one that I have ever heard before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

It took me a little while to find that one Tom! I remembered my Mom quoting that or something similar when I was a teenager, but I wasn't sure who said it originally. I think that is one of my favorites and a great thought to keep in mind!
