It is better to die in battle than to die as a secondary stepchild of history.
Wars and revolutions and battles are due simply and solely to the body and its desires.
All wars are undertaken for the acquisition of wealth; and the reason why we have to acquire wealth is the body, because we are slaves in its service.
—Socrates
No sooner has a soul escaped than the great Adversary takes steps to ensnare it again. The fiercest attacks are made on the strongest forts, and the fiercer the battle the young believer is called on to wage, the surer evidence it is of the work of the Holy Spirit in his heart.
—D. L. Moody
Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.
—Sun Tzu
Know yourself and you will win all battles.
—Sun Tzu
“He that believes in Christ shall be delivered from sin, he shall trample it under his feet; he may have a life-long battle with it, nay, I am sure he will have that, else Christ would never have taught his disciples to pray, Lead us not into temptation.”

—Socrates
Wine and other luxuries have a tendency to enervate the mind and make men less brave in battle.
—Julius Caesar
Know thy self, know thy enemy.
A thousand battles, a thousand victories.
—Sun Tzu
Every battle is won before it’s ever fought.
—Sun Tzu
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.
—Sun Tzu
I call myself a peaceful warrior because the battles we fight are on the inside.
—Socrates
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.
—Sun Tzu
In battle, if you you make your opponent flinch, you have already won.
—Miyamoto Musashi
But fight though it is, the battle is the Lord’s, and victory will come with the Morning.
It is not Morning yet.

Should not the very difficulties, the sense of the impregnable, impossible, send us to our knees, and then out to the battle front?
—Amy Carmichael
The reason why many fail in the battle is because they wait until the hour of battle. The reason why others succeed is because they have gained their victory on their knees long before the battle came.
—R. A. Torrey
The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.

Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.
—Sun Tzu
The wise warrior avoids the battle.
—Sun Tzu
If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
—Sun Tzu
In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack–the direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of manoeuvres.
—Sun Tzu
Thus the expert in battle moves the enemy, and is not moved by him.
—Sun Tzu
Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.
—Sun Tzu
