Quote by Thomas Fuller

It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf.

It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is foolish for weak or vulnerable individuals to seek harmony and peaceful negotiations with those who pose a threat or hold malicious intentions. Just as it would be nonsensical for sheep, a prey animal, to engage in dialogue with a predator like a wolf, so too is it impractical for individuals or groups to seek peace with those who would potentially harm or exploit them. It emphasizes the necessity of recognizing power imbalances and exercising caution in interactions with potentially dangerous individuals or entities.

There are things that I invented - the creaky geriatric robot that is always grumpy, for example, or the little wheelie guy, he's not in the Hasbro lore. But kids love that stuff - this little guy as a pet on a chain. They gravitate towards it.

A guy is a lump like a doughnut. So, first you gotta get rid of all the stuff his mom did to him. And then you gotta get rid of all that macho crap that they pick up from beer commercials. And then there's my personal favorite, the male ego.

I rely on guns for protection in life. God does not say, 'This is la-la land.' God doesn't say, 'Welcome to Earth. Everything's perfect. There's no crime. There's no murder. There's no death.' The world is imperfect, and you have to be on guard.
