    Default Sun Tzu

    Interesting quotes from him.

    "Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." -Marxist to America?

    a nation destroyed cannot be restored to existence, and the dead cannot be restored to life -As a nation, as created, are we destroyed?

    Only listened to it. Very short, was expecting much longer. I need to pick up a copy though. A lot said with few words.

    A wise man recognizes that although he cannot always control what happens to him, he can always control how he reacts to his failures. As long as he keeps his faith in God and in himself, nothing can permanently defeat him.

    I would add that a wise man controls how he reacts to everything.

    Personally, I have some work to do on some stuff, but limiting reaction to just failures kinda falls short of being wise.

    IMO

    It's not about what life hands you, it is about what you do with it once it is in your hands.

    Just make sure you wash your hands when you are finished.

    Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
