• The most powerful weapon is not a nuclear bomb. More powerful than that is the opponent's heart. When you have your opponent's heart in your hand and use it as a weapon against him, you will surely win. If the adversary gets to love you, not only have you won, but you also have not lost anything. In any other battle, even in the ones you win, always you win some but you also lose some, even if it is only the bullets you lose. Every victory has its price. That's why the best victory is the one that is won by winning the hearts of others.
  To win the enemy over, to get them to love you, it is possible only for those who are most virtuous and strongest in spirit, because in such battle, instead of bullets, virtues are used - one needs plenty of them, as the virtuous veterans do. Any fool can pump up muscles or acquire weapons and so beat the opponents. But what is great about that?! The greatest thing is to make the opponents love you, instead of hate you.
