Let the soldier yield to the civilian

the only true way to be victorious is to surrender. To each other. To love. To the higher power.

I find I am much prouder of the victory I obtain over myself, when, in the very ardor of dispute, I make myself submit to my adversary’s force of reason, than I am pleased with the victory I obtain over him through his weakness.

Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.

If you believe in victory, then victory will believe in you.

LAW 9 WIN THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS, NEVER THROUGH ARGUMENT JUDGMENT Any momentary triumph you think you have gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate.

If you surrender, you have already lost. If you refuse to give up, though, no
matter the odds against you, at least you have succeeded in trying.

If your enemy is a man of honour (...), yield to him; you may touch his heart, Perhaps win generous terms. If he´s a rat - beware!

Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more.

no man who is resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention, still less can he afford to take the consequences, including the vitiation of his temper and the loss of self control, yield to larger things to which you show no more than equal rights, and yield to lesser ones though clearly your own, better give your path to a dog, than be bitten by him in contesting for the right, not even killing the dog, will cure the bite

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.
