Tiger

In waking a tiger, use a long stick

Mao Tse-Tung

A tiger never returns to his prey he did not finish off


Ban Chao








Tiger! Tiger! burning bright / In the forests of the night, / What immortal hand or eye / Could frame thy fearful symmetry


William Blake






In the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding on the back of the tiger ended up inside


John Fitzgerald Kennedy








In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Now set the teeth, and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath, and bend up every spirit
To his full height



William Shakespeare
















O tiger's heart wrapped in a woman's hide


William Shakespeare
