Wars do not begin when one force is aggressive towards another. They begin when one force speaks aggression toward another. No act of aggression begins without a word. The word ignites the warrior mechanism in the mind and body. When we hear aggressive words, we are compelled to respond. When we speak aggressive words, we are advanced upon.
A wise soldier knows never to draw his sword unless he is ready, able and willing to do battle.
Meanwhile, a fool draws his sword aimlessly and is prone to cut himself to death.
My Tongue is my sword of power. I use it wisely.
