I do not fear the man who practices 1,000 kicks one time each. I fear the man who practices 1 kick 1,000 times.
A man strikes you, make him bleed. He makes you bleed, you break his bones. He breaks your bones, kill him. Being hit is inevitable, strike back twice as hard.
If every man would help his neighbor, no man would be without help.
