Echoes of Bushido

The enemy is internal

The path of the warrior is a path of knowledge, an internal path first and foremost.”Know your enemy and know yourself, in a hundred battles you will never be defeated”. If you are ignorant of your enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are the same. If you are ignorant of both your enemy and yourself, you can be certain that you will be defeated in every battle
