“In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more.” MayArtEndsEarthUsedOrderFightingHeavenSunFourReturnNeededVictoryBattleMoonFlowRiversDirectSeasonsMethodSecureStreamsMartial ArtsTacticsJoiningPassing AwayHeaven And EarthUnendingIndirectFour Seasons Book:The Art of War Source: The Art of War

“It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What's needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take 'everyone on Earth' to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.” KnowsGivingFirstsDoeEarthGivenCausesJusticeGroupsNeededGiving UpMassEndureCriticalDeterminedDramaticContinuingNot Giving UpAccumulationPeace And JusticeGaleCritical MassDramatic Change Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“In the search for meaning we must not forget that the gods (or God, for that matter) are a concept of the human mind; they are the creatures of man, not vice versa. They are needed and invented to give meaning and purpose to the struggle that is life on Earth, to explain strange and irregular phenomena of nature, haphazard events and, above all, irrational human conduct. They exist to bear the burden of all things that cannot be comprehended except by supernatural intervention or design.” MenGivingMindHumansMatterEarthPurposeForgetStruggleAtheismEventsDesignStrangeBearsNeededCreaturesConceptsAll ThingsVicesBurdenPositive AtheismHuman MindIrrationalInterventionVice VersaSearch For MeaningHaphazard Author:Barbara Tuchman
