[705] This is what the Blessed One said. … the Teacher: Geese, cranes, and peacocks, elephants and spotted deer— all of them fear the lion, though there is no equality in body. So too among human beings: if even a young one is wise, it is he who is great therein— not the fool, though great in body. The sixth.
