That in the captains but a choleric word Which in the soldier is flat blasphemy.
If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
From a chollerick man withdraw a little; from him that saies nothing, for ever. [From a choleric man withdraw a little; from him that says nothing, for ever. ]
Angry and choleric men are as ungrateful and unsociable as thunder and lightning, being in themselves all storm and tempest; but quiet and easy natures are like fair weather, welcome to all.
