“Only loss teaches us about the value of things.”
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“All colors and blends of Americans have somewhat the same tendencies. It's a breed — selected out by accident. And so we're overbrave and overfearful — we're kind and cruel as children. We're overfriendly and at the same time frightened of strangers. We boast and are impressed. We're oversentimental and realistic. We are mundane and materialistic — and do you know of any other nation that acts for ideals? We eat too much. We have no taste, no sense of proportion. We throw our energy about like waste. In the old lands they say of us that we go from barbarism to decadence without an intervening culture.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“He who wills believes with a fair amount of certainty that will and action are somehow one; he ascribes the success, the carrying out of the willing, to the will itself, and thereby enjoys an increase of the sensation of power which accompanies all success.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
