“Know your enemy as you know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.”
—Chinese proverb.
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
