'ab funf uhr funfundvierzig wird zuruckgeschossen'

Op een chique diner:

Dame tegen Winston Churchill: "Winston, you're drunk!"
Churchill: "Madam, you're ugly. And what's more, tomorrow I will be sober again"

Dame tegen Churchill: "If you were my husband I'd poison your food"
Churchill: "Madam, if you were my wife, I'd eat it"

Meanwhile the House should prepare itself for hard and heavy tidings. I
have only to add that nothing which may happen in this battle can in any
way relieve us of our duty to defend the world cause to which we have vowed
ourselves; nor should it destroy our confidence in our power to make our
way, as on former occasions in our history, through disaster and through
grief to the ultimate defeat of our enemies.

quote:

Ik val aan, volg mij

Of was het "val aan, ik volg wel"

Een dame had eens een hooglopende woordenwisseling met Chuchill,

"Ik zou nog voor geen miljoen pond met U naar bed willen"

Opposing forces may face each other for years, striving for the victory which may be decided in a single day. This being so, to remain in ignorance of the enemy's condition simply because one grudges the outlay of a hundred ounces of silver is the height of stupidity.

One who acts thus is no leader of men, no present help to his cause, no master of victory. Thus, what enables the wise commander to strike and conquer, and achieve things beyond the reach of ordinary men, is foreknowledge. Now this foreknowledge cannot be elicited from spirits; it cannot be obtained inductively from experience, nor by any deductive calculation. Knowledge of the enemy's dispositions can only be obtained from other men.

Hence the use of spies, of whom there are five classes: (1) Local spies - Having local spies means employing the services of the inhabitants of an enemy territory; (2) Moles - Having moles means making use of officials of the enemy; (3) Double agents - Having double agents means getting hold of the enemy's spies and using them for our own purposes; (4) Doomed spies - Having doomed spies means doing certain things openly for purposes of deception, and allowing our spies to know of them and report them to t he enemy; (5) Surviving spies - Surviving spies means are those who bring back news from the enemy's camp.

Je denkt toch niet echt dat herr Scooter dit zelf bedacht heeft. Weet niet van wie het orgineel is, maar zeker niet van Scooter.
hier nog een quote:
`dan liever de lucht in!` van Speijk

The Ni To Ichi Way of strategy is recorded in this the Book of the Void.

What is called the spirit of the void is where there is nothing. It is not included in man's knowledge. Of course the void is nothingness. By knowing things that exist, you can know that which does not exist. That is the void.

People in this world look at things mistakenly, and think that what they do not understand must be the void. This is not the true void. It is bewilderment.

In the Way of strategy, also, those who study as warriors think that whatever they cannot understand in their craft is the void. This is not the true void.

To attain the Way of strategy as a warrior you must study fully other martial arts and not deviate even a little from the Way of the warrior. With your spirit settled, accumulate practice day by day, and hour by hour. Polish the twofold spirit heart and mind, and sharpen the twofold gaze perception and sight. When your spirit is not in the least clouded, when the clouds of bewilderment clear away, there is the true void.

Until you realise the true Way, whether in Buddhism or in common sense, you may think that things are correct and in order. However, if we look at things objectively, from the viewpoint of laws of the world, we see various doctrines departing from the true Way. Know well this spirit, and with forthrightness as the foundation and the true spirit as the Way. Enact strategy broadly, correctly and openly.

Then you will come to think of things in a wide sense and, taking the void as the Way, you will see the Way as void.

In the void is virtue, and no evil. Wisdom has existence, principle has existence, the Way has existence, spirit is nothingness.

Bron Miyamoto Musashi. Japan. 1645. Torugawa ending piriod.
