“There are not more than five primary colours, yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen.”

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

All warfare is based on deception.

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.

When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move.

The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.

The spot where we intend to fight must not be made known; for then the enemy will have to prepare against a possible attack at several different points.

Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.

Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting.

Those skilled at making the enemy move do so by creating a situation to which he must conform; they entice him with something he is certain to take, and with lures of ostensible profit they await him in strength.

Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.

Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

One may know how to conquer without being able to do it.

Attack is the secret of defense; defense is the planning of an attack.

One mark of a great soldier is that he fight on his own terms or fights not at all.

Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn’t matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong.

Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.

The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.

When I find a colour darker than black, I’ll wear it. But until then, I’m wearing black!

It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man.

I will go down with my colours flying.

Love life day by day, color by color, touch by touch.

The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.
