This quote is about rattlesnakes (and countries), but I like it from an Aikido perspective, too:

“She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage…she never wounds ‘till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her." 

~ Benjamin Franklin
