1 draw the sword and throw away the scabbard
"обнажить меч и отбросить ножны", приготовиться к самым решительным действиямWhen he drew the sword... he threw away the scabbard... He knew that the essence of war is violence, and that moderation is imbecility. (Th. Macaulay, ‘Critical, Historical and Miscellaneous Essays’, ‘Lord Nugent's Memorials of Hampden’) — Хемпден в споре с королем Карлом I "обнажил меч... и отбросил ножны"; он исходил из того, что суть этой войны, как и всякой другой, - насилие, а проявление умеренности - глупость.
