To strike one’s fist on a lion, and to grasp the sharp edge of a sword with the hand, is not the part of an intelligent man. <br /> <br /> Do not fight or try thy strength with a furious man. <br /> Hide thy hands in thy arm-pits to avoid his finger-nails.<br /><br />Saadi Shirazi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ch-08-on-rules-for-conduct-in-life-maxim-29/
