I call myself a peaceful warrior because the battles we fight are on the inside.
Soldiers generally win battles; generals get credit for them.
These fallen heroes represent the character of a nation who has a long history of patriotism and honor - and a nation who has fought many battles to keep our country free from threats of terror.
I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.
“No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles. The battle decides all.”
“If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.”
Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.
Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.
