Favorite Bible Quote

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." - Psalm 23:4

And I think Sun Tzu has some great ones. My favorite is probably this one:

“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”

Although, I like these too:

"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win"

"A leader leads by example, not by force"

“Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley.”

"Disorder came from order, fear came from courage, weakness came from strength."

I've not yet read The Art of War but I've read excerpts and tons of quotes. I want to read the whole thing sometime.

Firstly, my apologies for not searching (I blame the Frascati). In apology, I offer this from Stan and Ollie (currently serving in my torpedo-room as far as I can tell):-

Ollie: "Why did you get a veterinarean ?"
Stan: "Well I didn't think his religion would make any difference."

Correct

Having a spider on the ceiling means the same as the American expression, 'you have a screw loose'.
