Chang Yu's interpretation of Sun Tzu:

"When one treats people with benevolence, justice, and righteousness, and reposes confidence in them, the army will be united in mind and all will be happy to serve their leaders. The Book of Changes says: 'In happiness at overcoming difficulties, people forget the danger of death.' "

This thread is cookin', Mud. Love the "Art of War" quote.

Benjamin Franklin, in July of 1776, was appointed part of a committee to draft a seal for the newly united states which would characterize the spirit of this new nation. He proposed:

"Moses lifting up his wand, and dividing the Red Sea, and Pharaoh in his chariot overwhelmed with the waters. This motto: 'Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God."

Today a minor miracle at our home, dinner with two of my estranged sibs and no squabbles (without the aid of drugs or alcohol). (^:
