Aratus Asclepius

“In an ambush situation, waiting is what wins the battle. If the other guy is war, he'll come early or late. When he figures you won't be expecting him. So however early he might make it, you've got to be earlier. However late he might leave it, you've got to wait it out. You wait in a kind of trance. You need infinite patience. NO use fretting or worrying. You just wait. Doing nothing, thinking nothing, burning no energy. Then you burst into action. After an hour, five hours, a day, a week. Waiting is a skill like anything else.”
― Lee Child, Killing Floor

“I don't care about the little guy. I just hate the big guy. I hate big smug people who think they can get away with things.”

“Some people are so poor, all they have is money.”

“The best fights are the ones you don't have", a wise man once said to me.”
