–Benjamin Disraeli (British Prime Minister and Novelist. 1804-1881)
“When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes (American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.”
