  "The mind is in the service of war, the logic of passion, and the fire of the gun!"

  Arnold uttered an aphorism:

  "War requires great intelligence, but it is gigantic madness!

  Snake confirmed:

  "Crazy things happen with big minds!"

  The black giant remarked:

  "If it was a lot of madness, it wasn't much of a mind!"

  Snake confirmed:

  "With a small muscle you can move an army, but without a big mind, you can only move talent!"

  Arnold said confidently:

  - Laconic it is not for your mind, great things, not for hugolino considerations!

  The serpent summed it up:

  - The greatest wisdom-will be limited to a small number of words!

  Arnold went on wittily:

  - And still greater wisdom to limit the size of speeches, but to do things without borders!

  The serpent interrupted the flow of aphorisms:

  "You are a wise man! And I think, on stupidity not go

  Arnold said laconically:

  "Thank you."

  The serpent added quietly:

  "There are more than a thousand warriors in the village, and each of them can shoot an arrow five, six miles, and with the phenomenal accuracy of the elves. So even your mechanical weapons may be powerless!

  Arnold said coldly:

  "My armor still needs to be pierced!"

  The serpent hissed:

  "There's a special magic to it!" In your world, I know you're a very strong man. But we have magic and your planes, tanks and even nuclear missiles can be a bunch of useless junk!

  Arnold answered with a call:

  "Wit and wit may overcome magic, but magic will not overcome wit, so the most violent storm will not sink a sailboat with skilled sailors!

  The serpent objected:

  - And the sailboats sink and the special forces die! Be careful with your weapons, there are such magicians... That in your fairy tales such and can not imagine!

  Arnold grunted:



  - Tale of a lie, but it hint, good fellows a lesson!

  The serpent stirred. Colored waves passed over it. Then followed a clever remark:

  - Who hovers in the clouds, do not stand up the heavenly Paradise, and you will not see sky-high heights!

  The black warrior answered logically:

  - Sky-high heights, not for mundane thoughts!

  The serpent replied with a wide grin:

  - Be a bird of high flight, but do not soar in the clouds!

  Arnold replied with a broad smile, his teeth as white as a horse's:

  "To be an eagle is not to lift up one's beak; to be winged is not to become a wet hen!"

  The serpent gri

  - Who has the brains of a hen, will never become an eagle!

  Arnold agreed:

  "Those with chicken brains don't live in eagles' nests!" Those who have hare hearts do not sit on lion thrones!

  Snake confirmed:

  "A Fox's mind is better than a hare's heart, a lion's grin is more convincing than a Fox's smile!"

  A mighty black warrior.:

  "A lion, unlike a donkey, plows those who fear him!"

  The snakes agreed with this:

  "The lion is not the one who roars, but the one who does not beat!"

  Arnold added logically:

  - From long growls only wheezes throat, from long silence numbs the tongue!

  The spotted Python of wisdom said:

  - Who litters with words, litters with deeds!

  And the giant was found:

  - When a lot of words, there is an inflation of perception!

  And the wise reptile betrayed:

  - If the words of promises rain, there will be a drought of fulfillment!

  Arnold added logically:

  - A shower of empty words, will wash away the Foundation of creation!
