Life Is Warfare

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire; the other is to get it.

To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

The universe is change; life is understanding.
