Biblical Scripture

Exodus

• If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1-4

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? John 3:5-10

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

Sun Tzu

The Art of War

Project Gutenberg text 132

I 18

All warfare is based on deception.

II 6

There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.

III 2b

Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

III 17

Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:

1. He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
4. He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.

IV 2

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

IV 11-12

What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease. Hence his victories bring him neither reputation for wisdom nor credit for courage.
