A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep, and a sheep doesn't concern itself with the opinion of lions.

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. Be a lion among sheep.
I'm not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I'm afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.
The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.
