權貴龍驤、英雄虎戰。 以冷眼視之、如蟻聚羶、如蠅競血。 是非蜂起、得矢蝟興。 以冷情當之、如冶化金、如湯消雪。

Benjamin Franklin:The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Excerpt 53

Benjamin Franklin《The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin》· The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin · Leadership

It was in allusion to this fact that, when in our fire company we feared the success of our proposal in favour of the lottery, and I had said to my friend Mr. Syng, one of our members, "If we fail, let us move the purchase of a fire-engine with the money; the Quakers can have no objection to that; and then, if you nominate me and I you as a committee for that purpose, we will buy a great gun, which is certainly a fire-engine." "I see," says he, "you have improv'd by being so long in the Assembly; your equivocal project would be just a match for their wheat or other grain."
