Friedrich Muller Elephant Quotations

Let a man walk alone, let him commit no sin, with few wishes, like an elephant in the forest.

Silently shall I endure abuse as the elephant in battle endures the arrow sent from the bow: for the world is ill-natured.

They lead a tamed elephant to battle, the king mounts a tamed elephant; the tamed is the best among men, he who silently endures abuse.
