You, the Poles, have a funny nature. When the people going along the
road are attacked by a dog with its insistent and noisy barking, you
immediately feel like jumping off the vehicle, standing on all fours
and starting to bark back at it. We, in the Vilnius region, let the
dog bark because that is what its canine nature is like but we do not
stop our journey because of its barking, and without any war
against dogs we calmly continue our journey until we reach our
destination. It seems that you care more about barking than the dog
does, and more about winning the war with any lousy puppy than about
reaching the destination quickly.
-- Jozef Pilsudski
