Trust your instincts: if someone’s behavior seems suspicious, it probably is. It may turn out to be benign, but in the meantime it is best to be on your guard.

Which leader was the best strategist in all of history?

Isolating yourself from the world will deny you access to valuable information. As a result, you will be vulnerable to enemy attacks. - Robert Greene

By seeming stronger than you are—perhaps through an occasional act that is reckless and bold—you can deter the enemy from attacking you.

Be unpredictable.

This means that you yourself are largely the agent of anything bad that happens to you. With more prudence, wiser policies, and greater vision, you could have avoided the danger.

Veni, vidi, vici — “I came, I saw, I conquered.” – Julius Caesar

“If a man is to be liked, he must really be inferior in point of intellect.” - SCHOPENHAUER

Vague orders are worthless.

The secret to motivating people and maintaining their morale is to get them to think less about themselves and more about the group.

The risks you keep taking, the challenges you keep overcoming, are like symbolic deaths that sharpen your appreciation for life.

Decide which fights to avoid and which are inevitable.

Never outshine the master. - Robert Greene
