“Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“You are retired
As if you were a feasted one and not
The hostess of the meeting.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
