"Speak gently and carry a big stick ..."

President Trump, I see you.

Long line of Republican POTUS, from Lincoln to Trump.

My favourite; Those who their CHI has cracked their palm kernels should not look down on others. Chinua Achebe
Those whose palm kernels have been cracked by a benevolent god should not forget to be humble
Though similar meaning, but try to always get the quote right,it matters a lot.
