"Beware Of entrance to a fight; but, being in, Bear't that the opponent may beware of thee." I do not ask for battles, but I do not refuse them once offered, either. Ah, and another passage from the same authority: "Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch’d, unfledg’d comrade." This about the remark about "little band of friends".
