"If a madman were to come into this……" — Samuel Johnson

"If a madman were to come into this room with a stick in his hand, no doubt we should pity the state of his mind; but our primary consideration would be to take care of ourselves. We should knock him down first, and pity him afterwards."

Samuel Johnson
