“He who rides the tiger can never dismount”
Chinese Proverbs
“He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount.”
“Out started six officers, seized my bridle, put their pistols to my breast, ordered me to dismount, which I did. One of them, who appeared to have the command there, and much of a gentleman, asked me where I came from; I told him. He asked what time I left . I told him, he seemed surprised, said ''Sir, may I crave your name?'' I answered ''My name is Revere.”
Paul Revere
“All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous and bad.”
William Penn
“Your horse would trot as well were some of your brags dismounted.”
William Shakespeare
“Drunkenness spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans man. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous, and mad.”
“When the horse dies, dismount”
Proverb
