Unhappy is the fate of one who tries to win his battles and succeed in his attacks without cultivating the spirit of enterprise; for the result is waste of time and general stagnation. Hence the saying: The enlightened ruler lays his plans well ahead; the good general cultivates his resources.

Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are. Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content.

No leader should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no leader should fight a battle simply out of pique. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life. Hence the enlightened leader is heedful, and the good leader full of caution.

"Everything we do is important. Every little thing we do, every picket line we walk on, every letter we write, every act of civil disobedience we engage in, any recruiter that we talk to, any parent that we talk to, any GI that we talk to, any young person that we talk to, anything we do in class, outside of class, everything we do in the direction of a different world is important, even though at the moment they seem futile, because that's how change comes about. Change comes about when millions of people do little things, which at certain points in history come together, and then something good and something important happens."

The most effective way of changing others' behavior is changing your own.

Life's journey is not about ariving at the grave all neat and well-preserved, but rather to skid in sideways, totaly worn out, shouting "Holy FUCK, what a ride!"

"While the new wave flowered, Lenny Bruce was hounded to death by the cops. For 'obscenity.' 30,000 people (according to Paul Krassner) are serving time in the jails of this vast demoocracy on marijuana charges, and the world we have to live in is controlled by a stupid thug from Texas. A vicious liar, with the ugliest family in Christendom... mean Okies feeling honored by the cheap indulgence of a George Hamilton, a stinking animal ridiculed even in Hollywood. And California, 'the most progressive state,' elects a governer straight out of a George Grosz painting, a political freak in every sense of the word except California politics..."

-Hunter S. Thompson, The Distant Drummer, vol. 1 no. 1, November, 1967, reprinted in The Great Shark Hunt

Strangely accurate, considering it's refering to Nixon & Reagan, and is nearly 30 years old.
