njrich...very sincere that quote...well done
Toker..kudos as well, both succinct, and appropriate to our species.
June-1876, mouth of the Rosebud river on the Yellowstone, the 7th Cavalry is ready to pull out of camp as the fast moving, "Shock Force", against the "Hostile Indians",, General Terry yells to Lt. Col. Custer riding at the head of the column , "Custer, don't be greedy now, leave some of the Indians for us", Custer replies, "No sir, I won't". (What did he, Custer, really mean?).

I hate when people say: "Nice to meet you" before I've even said anything. How do you know it's nice to meet me, I'm an a**hole!

Blackjack will test your soul, your character, and the very fiber of your being.

“I like to call in sick to work at places where I’ve never held a job. Then when the manager tells me I don’t work there, I tell them I’d like to. But not today, as I’m sick.”
Jarod Kintz, This Book is Not for Sale
Chinese general, Sun-tzu (400-320 BCE), knew how to
wage war. He ranks with the greatest Nebuchadnezzar,
Cyrus, Alexander or Caesar in history when it comes
to military prowess. His teachings, as preserved in his
prodigious and esteemed work, The Art of War, are still
the close study of advanced warfare strategists.
At the heart of his philosophy is the principle and practice
of deception.
“Without giving battle, without spilling a drop of
blood, without even drawing a sword, the clever
General succeeds in capturing cities. Without setting
foot in a foreign Kingdom, he finds the means to
conquer them. He acts in such a way that those who
are inferior to him can never guess his intentions. He
has them change location, even taking them to rather
difficult places where they must work and suffer.
When a clever General goes into action, the enemy is
already defeated. When he fights, he alone must do
more than his entire army, not through the strength
of his arm but through his prudence, his manner of
commanding, and above all his ruses.”
“Why do people always expect authors to answer questions? I am an author because I want to ask questions. If I had answers, I'd be a politician.”
Eugène Ionesco
