Begin by seizing something which your opponent holds dear; then he will be amenable to your will.
Sun TzuTo perceive victory when it is known to all is not really skilful... It does not take much strength to lift a hair, it does not take sharp eyes to see the sun and moon, it does not take sharp ears to hear the thunderclap.
Sun TzuLike the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more.
