The Man In The Mirror

"If you get what you want in your struggle for self,
And the world makes you king for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn't a man's father, mother or wife,
Whose judgement upon him must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in his life,
Is the man staring back from the glass.

He's the fellow to please, never mind the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test,
If the man in the glass is your friend.

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward wil be heartache and tears,
If you've cheated the man in the glass."
-- A convict; found on the walls of his cell.

"The way is emptiness,
Yet practice it and it seems inexhaustible,
Fathomless and still,
Yet all life seems to spring from it.

It blunts sharp edges,
Unravels knots,
Softens glare,
Settles the dust.

It moves beneath all things, seen only in its effects,
Where it came from no one can say,
It was always there, the potential in nothingness."
-- Verse IV, The Tao Te Ching.

"For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."
- Sun Tzu, The Art of War

"But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest."
- Buddha

"We are the silent. We are the outcast. We are the ones who survive. You can never 'be' us. You can never copy us. It's only one day when you realize that the bodies of all your enemies are at your feet that you realize that you are one of us."
- Huntarded of Malygos

"My approach towards playing Survival is to think like a Survivalist. Get bitter. Get pessimistic. This spec is for those of us who can't depend on anyone or anything - including our own talents.
...
Get crazy. Get paranoid. Know your limitations. Fight dirty.

Get Survivalist."
- Yurch of Anatheron
