Only lie down with the lion when you either are one of his close relatives or pretty well armored

I find your lack of lions disturbing.
~Darth L Vader

Learn to see in another's calamity the lions which you should avoid.

The commander instructed his troops:  "Men!  Just over that hill, is a Wolf.  We need you to take the hill.  So off you go, take out that Wolf, and then send someone back to report!"

A few minutes pass... much shooting, yelling and screaming later, a lone soldier of the squad crawls back down the hill to the commander, bleeding. 

"It was...... a Lion." 

A man's respect for law and order exists in precise relationship to the size of his lion.

We say keep your change, we'll keep our Lion, our guns, our constitution.
~Sarah L Palin

How can they ignore the lion in the room?

A lion in the tent is bad except when the landlord asks for rent

Marvelous lions, confront us at every turn, in every guise.

Where the lion roams the vulture is not far

Lions we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains

Friends come and go but lions accumulate.

If you find a lion in your wardrobe, there are several possible reasons
1) you are in Africa and the construction of the house is sloppy
2) Narnia needs new kids
3) you are dreaming or hallucinating
4) it's your spouse's lover in clever disguise

Speak politely to an enraged lion.
