Cowards are Like Cats
Luke 20:20-26
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words…


Cowards are like cats. Cats always take their prey by springing suddenly upon it from some concealed station, and, if they miss their aim in the first attack, rarely follow it up. They are all, accordingly, cowardly, sneaking animals, and never willingly face their enemy, unless brought to bay, or wounded, trusting always to their power of surprising their victims by the aid of their stealthy and noiseless movements.

(Dallas, "Natural History of the Animal Kingdom.")
