Quote by Thomas Merton
“La milicia es un Tao de engaños: De modo que cuando seas capaz, muestra incapacidad. Cuando seas activo, muestra inactividad. Cuando estés cerca, haz creer que estás lejos. Cuando estés lejos, haz creer que estás cerca. De modo que cuando el enemigo busque ventajas, los atraerás. Cuando se halle confundido, lo conquistarás. Cuando tenga consistencia, prepárate a enfrentarte a él. Cuando sea fuerte, evítalo. Cuando esté airado, acósalo. Atácale cuando no esté preparado. Surge allí donde no te espere.”
