"a good anvil does not fear the hammer" :

An anvil,a manufacturing tool made of a hard and massive block of stone or metal, is used as a support for chiseling and hammering other objects, such as in forging iron and steel items.

A hammer, a hand tool with a heavy rigid head and a handle, is used to deliver an impulsive force by striking.

This proverb means that when you are good and upright, no one can harm you. (However, in reality, there are some exceptionsLaughing)
