He Who Is Brave Is Free

No man is free who is not master of himself.

Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves

He who spares the wicked injures the good

Bravery without forethought, causes a man to fight blindly and desperately like a mad bull.  Such an opponent, must not be encountered with brute force, but may be lured into an ambush and slain.

The way of the superior man is threefold: virtuous, he is free from anxieties; wise, he is free from perplexities; bold, he is free from fear.

Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power
