Ọ̀kánràn Ògúndá 185:1

One who stands ready to act for the good is supported by Ogun on the day of battle. A person who cannot fight or talk does not live long on earth. Struggle brings respect, struggle brings honor. This was the teaching of Ifa for Ogungbemi. They said that even if he does not provoke it, whenever the fight comes to him, he should not run away from it. It is the powerful who have control of the world. No one respects the passive person. It is the courageous who lay claim to the world. People do not give consideration to the coward. He was asked to sacrifice. So that his internal strength would not perish and his body would remain sound.
