““Contrary to popular wisdom, bullies are rarely cowards. Bullies come in various shapes and sizes. Observe yours. Gather intelligence. Shunning one hopeless battle is not an act of cowardice. Hankering for security or popularity makes you weak and vulnerable. Which is worse: Scorn earned by informers? Misery endured by victims? The brutal May have been molded by a brutality you cannot exceed. Let guile be your ally. Respect earned by integrity cannot be lost without your consent. Don't laugh at what you don't find funny. Don't support an opinion you don't hold. The independent befriend the independent. Adolescence dies in its fourth year. You live to be eighty.””
![“[Putin] is a bully. And bullies only understand when we punch them in the nose, but we need to do that economically.” quote by Kelly Ayotte](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/83a/kelly-ayotte-18873_bully_putin-is-a-bully-and-bullies-only-unders_13021.jpg)
