The real Art of Peace is not to sacrifice a single one of your warriors to defeat an enemy.
Vanquish your foes by always keeping yourself in a safe and unassailable position; then no one will suffer any losses.
The Way of a Warrior, the Art of Politics, is to stop trouble before it starts. It consists in defeating your adversaries spiritually by making them realize the folly of their actions.
The Way of a Warrior is to establish harmony.
