Rene Velarde

“Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:
1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
― Mark Twain

“Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.”
