Summary
This quote suggests that people often show initial signs of friendliness or submission before revealing their true intentions or displaying aggressive behavior. It implies that some individuals adopt a deceptive facade by pretending to be harmless or accommodating. Like an animal that licks its prey before biting, these people employ a similar strategy to gain trust or create a false sense of security before inflicting harm or taking advantage of others. The quote serves as a cautionary reminder to be wary of those who may not have genuine or noble intentions beneath their initial display of friendliness.
