The pen is mightier than the sword, and considerably easier to write with. |

There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women. |

My weapon of choice is the nunchuck. I do like the bo as well, which I use, the staff. I'm not so good with the sword, but I picked a lot of stuff up on 'Ninja 1' with the sword. |

Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. |

No law or ordinance is mightier than understanding. |

I write my novels longhand. I love the feeling of writing; I love to see pen on paper. It feels more creative than typing, and it's a more visual process for me - I can picture the entire scene in my head and am merely writing what I see. |

I did a production of Macbeth in the 1960s in which I had a swordfight in the final scene. But the blade fell off my sword just as I was stabbing the guy. I ended up having to hammer him to death. |

When the sword is once drawn, the passions of men observe no bounds of moderation. |
| Alexander Hamilton |
In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution. |

Before these eleven virtues is a virtue which is nameless.
Miyamoto Musashi wrote, in The Book of Five Rings:
“The primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy’s cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this. If you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching the enemy, you will not be able actually to cut him. More than anything, you must be thinking of carrying your movement through to cutting him.”...

Imagine having lived your life on a basis or premise of a truth ? be it in science, religion, culture, philosophy, ethic or even politic ? then finding out one day that everything you ever believed in was wrong, completely and utterly untrue. Would you be able to accept it? Would you be able to change your way of thinking?
It is undoubtedly a frightening prospect, but that is basically what is espoused in the "Allegory of the Cave" found in Plato's Republic. Socrates was apparently the one who originated the allegory, though it was his student Plato who recorded it ? together with his own interpretations.

Mindfulness is the Key to Self-Mastery
So I have been studying personal development for the past five years. After years of trying different things, I believe that mindfulness is the most important skill that I have learned in regards to attaining legitimate self-mastery. Before I dive into the concept of mindfulness, let us define self-mastery. Self-mastery = control over your mind and emotions. Self-mastery is:
• Getting up out of bed at 6 AM to get some work done, despite not wanting to.
• Going to the gym to get your workout in even though it is raining.
