“The weak in courage is strong in cunning.”
William Blake
“CUNNING, n. The faculty that distinguishes a weak animal or person from a strong one. It brings its possessor much mental satisfaction and great material adversity. An Italian proverb says: "The furrier gets the skins of more foxes than asses."”
Ambrose Bierce
“Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.”
Charles de Gaulle
“Never suffer your courage to exert itself in fierceness, your resolution in obstinacy, your wisdom in cunning, nor your patience in sullenness and despair.”
Charles Palmer
“To live in this world you must be as cunning as a fox, as cautious as a deer, as laid back as a dog, as graceful as a panther, and as strong as a lion.”
Emily O'Shea
“If I thought he'd been valiant and so cunning in fence, I'd have seen him damned ere I'd have challenged him.”
William Shakespeare
“If the lion was advised by the fox, he would be cunning.”
