BLUSTERING.

Colton, Caleb C.
They that are loudest in their threats are the weakest in the execution of them.—It is probable that he who is killed by lightning hears no noise; but the thunder-clap which follows, and which most alarms the ignorant, is the surest proof of their safety.

Haliburton, Thomas C.
A brave man is sometimes a desperado; but a bully is always a coward.

L'Estrange, Sir Roger
There are braying men in the world as well as braying asses; for what is loud and senseless talking other than a way of braying.

Pope, Alexander
It is with narrow souled people as with narrow necked bottles; the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring it out.

Shakespeare, William
A killing tongue, but a quiet sword.

Sidney, Sir Philip
Commonly they whose tongue is their weapon, use their feet for defense.
