    “You meet many wolves in sheep’s clothing;
    you are prey until they find out
    you have the heart of a lion.
    You meet many snakes in the grass;
    you are in danger until you burn
    the plain in which they hide.

    Worse than a hostile enemy
    is an accomplished, secret one.
    Worse than a foolish superior
    is an impenitent, arrogant one.
    Worse than a sage's rebuke
    is life's chastisement.”
    ― Matshona Dhliwayo
