Threaten Quotes

One ought never to turn one's back
on a threatened danger and try to run away from it.

But if you meet it promptly and without flinching,
you will reduce the danger by half.
Never run away from anything. Never!

Anger and Danger are intimately intertwined.
An angry person is a dangerous person,
whether that person crosses our path
or whether the angry person is ourself.

whenever we feel threatened -
when we believe we are in danger -
we tend to exhibit anger as well as fear.
We look for someone to blame for the dangerous situation,
and direct our anger toward them.
