Men Do Not Think

How fortunate for leaders that men do not think
Those who want to live, let them fight and those who do not want to fight in this world of external struggle do not deserve to live
If you win, you need not to explain
If you lose, you should not be there to explain
It’s not truth that matters but victory

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it
It’s not truth that matters but victory
Life doesn’t forgive weakness
Strength lies not in defence but in attack
When diplomacy ends war begins
