Quotes

Martin Vojčíkhas quotedlast year
Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
Isaac Kandahas quotedlast year
Plan for what is difficult while it is easy, do what is great while it is small.

It’s always easy to relax when I’ve gotten a heavy task out of the way that other tasks may seem small pile up to become big!
This is a reminder to always keep moving!

Pavhas quotedlast year
According as circumstances are favourable, one should modify one's plans.
