He who dares to come is surely not a coward; A challenger from a far-off land is not to be under-estimated; Only a very capable person dares to come for the challenge [lit] A dragon would not cross the river were it not a fierce one This is actually the first part of a couplet. The lesser-known latter part is 唔係毒蛇唔打霧 'A snake would not breathe mist were it not a deadly one'.
