“Spare the meek, but subdue the arrogant.”
“Subdue your passion or it will subdue you.”
“The use of force alone is but temporary. It may subdue for a moment; but it does not remove the necessity of subduing again; and a nation is not governed, which is perpetually to be conquered.”
“Meekness does not mean indolence.”
“Arrest the meek! Reward the obnoxious!”
“Only a habit can subdue another habit.”
