Know the enemy and know yourself.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
