Trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage at his books: For to you, kingdoms and their armies are mighty and enduring; but to him they are the toys of an hour, and are overturned when he turns the page.

Other versions:
"Trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage amongst his books. For to you Kingdoms and armies are things mighty and enduring, but to him they are but toys of the moment, to be overturned by the flicking of a finger ..." -- Lessons: Anonymous

And

"Trouble rather the Tiger in his Lair, Than the Sage among his Books, For all the Empires and Kingdoms, The Armies and Works that you hold Dear, Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment, To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger, And the Turning of a Page"

--------Rudyard Kipling

And

"Trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage amongst his books. For to you Kingdoms and their armies are things mighty and enduring, but to him they are but toys of the moment, to be overturned by the flicking of a finger." Chinese proverb
