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

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

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

He who conquers his wrath overcomes his greatest enemy.

Publilius Syrus

He whose intellect overcomes his lust is higher than the angels; he whose lust overcomes his intelligence is less than an animal.

Rumi

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

Democritus

Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water. Yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible, nothing can surpass it. The soft overcomes the hard; the gentle overcomes the rigid. Everyone knows this is true, but few can put it into practice. Therefore the Master remains serene in the midst of sorrow. Evil cannot enter his heart. Because he has given up helping, he is people's greatest help. True words seem paradoxical.

Laozi

The brave man is not only he who overcomes the enemy, but he who is stronger than pleasures. Some men are masters of cities, but are enslaved to women.

Democritus

When God overcomes our difficulties for us, we have the assurance that we are engaged in His work and not our own

George Muller

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 lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.

Rumi

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

Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.

John Milton

If you want to shrink something, you must first allow it to expand. If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish. If you want to take something, you must first allow it to be given. This is called the subtler perception of the way things are. The soft overcomes the hard. The slow overcomes the fast. Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results.

Laozi
