Sun Tzu

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.

Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.

Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
