It was the beginning of this thread and was quoted at the bottom of the 
last one you sent that I just replied to.  I truncated it on the last go 
around to save space.  :)

Trouble rather the tiger in his lair
than the sage amongst his books.
For to you, kingdoms and their armies
are mighty and enduring,
But to him, they are but toys of the moment
To be overturned by the flicking of a finger.
