We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating.

Know your enemy and know yourself and you will always be victorious

You can not lead a battle if you think you look silly on a horse.

A conqueror is always a lover of peace.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

Evil has no capital of its own. It is a parasite on goodness.

If we don't end war, war will end us.

Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.

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