[Permalink to quote \#2](https://quotesby.net/Aaron-Hill/2/ "Permalink to quote 2") 3. > Tender-handed stroke a nettle, And it stings you for your pains; Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains.

[Permalink to quote \#3](https://quotesby.net/Aaron-Hill/3/ "Permalink to quote 3") 4. > Courage is poorly housed that dwells in numbers; the lion never counts the herd that are about him, nor weighs how many flocks he has to scatter.
