“Every era has a currency that buys souls. In some the currency is pride, in others it is hope, in still others it is a holy cause.

“The generals have a saying: "Rather than make the first move it is better to wait and see. Rather than advance an inch it is better to retreat a yard." This is called going forward without advancing, pushing back without using weapons. There is no greater misfortune than underestimating your enemy.

When two great forces oppose each other, the victory will go to the one that knows how to yield.”
