That the soft overcomes the hard, and the yielding overcomes the resistant, is a fact known by all, but practiced by few.

Laozi

Always remember that the true meaning of Budo is that soft overcomes hard, small overcomes large.

Mas Oyama

Aristotle

The weak overcomes the strong. The soft overcomes the hard. Everybody in the world knows this, still nobody makes use of it.

Laozi

He who overcomes others has force; he who overcomes himself is strong.

Laozi

Though fraud in all other actions be odious, yet in matters of war it is laudable and glorious, and he who overcomes his enemies by stratagem is as much to be praised as he who overcomes them by force.

Niccolo Machiavelli

As far as the earth is from the stars, and fire from the sea, so is the useful from the right. Power over men perishes completely if justice begins to be observed, and respect for individual rights overcomes strongholds.

Lucan

The brave man is not only he who overcomes the enemy, but he who is stronger than pleasures.

Democritus

Experience is the best teacher. But in our day and time, what we need is wisdom, because wisdom overcomes experience, because experience is wisdom, but there's a level of wisdom that overcomes the experience, and that's the experience that's already lived by others. I'm not trying to repeat the histories. I already learned from what they did.

Rza

The best genius is that which absorbs and assimilates everything without doing the least violence to its fundamental destiny.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A fiery shield is God's Word; of more substance and purer than gold, which, tried in the fire, loses nought of its substance, but resists and overcomes all the fury of the fiery heat; even so, he that believes God's Word overcomes all, and remains secure everlastingly, against all misfortunes; for this shield fears nothing, neither hell nor the devil.

Martin Luther

The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.

Harry Golden
