Law of the Jungle

Now this is the Law of the Jungle – as old and as true as the sky; And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die. For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack

Fifth Law of the Navy

On the strength of one link in the cable, 

dependth the might of the chain. 

Who knows when thou may'st be tested, 

so live that thou bearest the strain.
