The Book of Five Rings “If you wish to control others, you must first control yourself” – Miyamoto Musashi Some books are truly very universal and specific. They change their meaning and reveal new horizons to us as we mature. “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius, “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu, “Tao Te Ching,”…
Faust “If we meet someone who owes us gratitude, we immediately remember it.
