A "Wisdom in Quotes" quote

"The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. 
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. 
The final weapon is the brain. 
All else is supplemental."

-Clint Smith

You've been taught right from wrong and given a good education. The person you see there can't be lied to or manipulated like you can with everyone else. He knows the truth of it."
