Sometimes in my Court a short statured lawyer would appear before me. I would tell him/her not to have an inferiority complex, but to feel like Napoleon.
Napoleon was reputed to be short, but his generals were mostly six footers, like me. Yet the generals would all salute Napleon
I would then recite the well known couplet of the Hindi poet Bihari ( 1595-1663 ):
" सरसैया के दोहरे ज्यों नावक के तीर
देखन में छोटन लगें घाव करें गंभीर "
