“There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you will still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything.”
― Tsunetomo Yamamoto, The Hagakure: A code to the way of samurai

“The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood”
― Otto von Bismarck

“Sweat saves blood, blood saves lives, but brains saves both.”
― Erwin Rommel

“Actions speak louder than words. In the days to come the Goddess of Victory will bestow her laurels only on those who prepared to act with daring.”
― Heinz Guderian, Achtung-Panzer!: The Development of Armoured Forces, Their Tactics and Operational Potential
