Knowing 

who you are

ends the need

to prove it.

It is not enough to win a war; it is more 

important to organize the peace.

When we focus on the 

competition, we become reactive.

When we focus on improving

ourselves, we become innovative.

Never compete with

anyone, never try to be better

than anyone, simply try to

be better than the person you

were yesterday.

The noble path is not in

outperforming others, but in

constantly elevating one's own 

character and virtues.

If you live long enough, you'll see 

that every victory turns into

a defeat.

War is a game played

by maniacs who kill each other.

Locate the man who profits by war

and strip him of his profits—

war will end.

The greatest victory is that

which requires no battles.

Rather fail with

honor than succeed

by fraud.

Don't climb mountains 

so that people can see you. 

Climb mountains so that 

you can see the world.

Competition is the law of the 

jungle, but cooperation is the 

law of civilization.
