The Fate Of War Is To Be

As For Myself, I Do Not Believe That Such A Person As Jesus Christ Ever Existed; But As The People Are Inclined To Superstition, It Is Proper Not To Oppose Them.

I Treat Policies Like War. I Hoodwink One Flank So As To Trounce The Other. In My Family We Kneel Only To God.

In Politics Nothing Is Immutable. Events Carry Within Them An Invincible Power. The Unwise Destroy Themselves In Resistance. The Skillful Accept Events, Take Strong Hold Of Them And Direct Them.

I Feel Myself Driven Towards An End That I Do Not Know. As Soon As I Shall Have Reached It, As Soon As I Shall Become Unnecessary, An Atom Will Suffice To Shatter Me. Till Then, Not All The Forces Of Mankind Can Do Anything Against Me.

All Generals, Officers, And Soldiers Who Capitulate In Battle To Save Their Own Lives Should Be Decimated.
