"Nobody ever defended anything successfully. There is only attack and attack and attack some more." George S. Patton
From the History Channel show "Mountain Men", the Arkansas blade smith was still-hunting feral hogs at ground level and doing a distressed rabbit call with his mouth. He understated that this could be "dangerous in the sense that I'm the bait." Later, approaching the downed boar, with rifle up: "it's always that last 10 feet that get a little fun."
"Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by the sun of York." First lines of Shakespeare's "Richard III", spoken by Gloucester, referring to better times ahead to be ushered in by the "son" of York -- Edward IV. Pretty relevant to the current state of things, I would say.

Biblical take on swords, with Jesus speaking in Luke 22: 36-38: "And now if you have a purse take it ...; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."
Clint Eastwood character Walt Kowalski from the movie "Gran Torino" was asked by a thug, "What are you lookin' at, old man?"
