“When there was fear, men huddled in small groups and counted their friends on their fingers, and all else was Foe. ”
“If you are foe, we do not fear you. If you are friend, your foes will be taught the fear of us.”
“I have so many friends I couldn’t even count them on one hand—not even if I had six fingers. Now, if I had seven fingers, I could count on them, but I still wouldn’t be able to count on my friends.”
“Mongst all foes that a friend should be the worst”
“Courage is not the absence of fear; true courage is manifest in bravely doing what has to be done in spite of fears or foes or the foolishness of the crowd or the taunts of the group. True courage is doing the right thing in spite of the odds or opposition or apprehension.”
“Friends, like fingers, are only good if you can count on them, as well as point them in the right direction.”
