Sweat more during peace: bleed less during war
Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions.
In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.
A leader leads by example not by force.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

This so much joy! This so much joy! If I should fail, what poverty! And yet, as poor as I Have ventured all upon a throw; Have gained! Yes! Hesitated so this side the victory!
Now is the only time there is. Make your now wow, your minutes miracles, and your days pay. Your life will have been magnificently lived and invested, and when you die you will have made a difference.
