SALES & MARKETING BRAINS:: Need your help with a saying
 

There's a saying - and this is not the correct saying (at least I don't think) and google searching isn't helping but...it goes something like this:

You pet the dog (or befriend him)
You ride the horse
and You feed the tiger.

Was discussing this with someone on ICQ and we can't get the exact term or where it's taken from (haven't finished 'The Art of War' and was hoping it's in there)

Help....anyone?

Thanks

i wanna know toooooooooooo!!!!!!!

:1orglaugh LMAO - I'm going to go nuts trying to get the exact saying now!

You may be referring to something which Churchill said, to the effect that you feed the tiger (enemy) in the hopes that it eats you last.

ADG Webmaster

is it take a Tiger by its tail??:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I don't think so.... but you know what, I think it may have been a Churchill saying. Let me search that out.

It was in reference/comparison of strength & drive (I'm almost sure of that) let me searchhhhhh

Thanks ADG ;)

He's got some great quotes!

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.


This one rings soooooo true:
Once in a while you will stumble upon the truth but most of us manage to pick ourselves up and hurry along as if nothing had happened.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

LMAO

how about...

You bang the dog,
You hire a Brazilian girl to suck off a horse,
and you make a hand bag out of the tiger.

Yea, I think that is it.

DWB you're sick! LMAO

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

Not sick. I just have a certain fondness for pretty animals.

hahahahaha. that somehow does fit our market though. LOL :1orglaugh
