"Man who does not believe in God is like a frog that puffs himself up and makes himself rather ridiculous.  But as man is not a frog, if he puffs himself up to the size of a superman he becomes a dangerous creature, a wild beast which, before ultimately being destroyed, destroys others." -Ignaz Maybaum

Confident

On an airplane a stewardess reminded boxer Mohammed Ali to fasten his seat belt. “Superman don’t need no seat belt,” quipped Ali. “Superman don’t need no airplane either,” the stewardess responded.   Ali fastened his belt. There is a meeting point between confidence and taking precaution.   On one end is stupidity and other is an incapacitating fear.
