"Be not afraid of any man, no matter what his size;
When danger threatens, call on me, and I will equalize."

This saying was actually engraved on 19th century Winchester
rifles, though variations of it were also found on handguns
of the period. Another good saying, and one that fits better
on a belt buckle, is:

"God made Man; Samuel Colt made all Men equal."

>>Take care--and never try to catch an experienced hiker going uphill.

Count on them taking note of that and adjusting their tactics
accordingly.

"An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome
by fleeing from it."

I wonder who they eventually caught.
