“The Way of a Warrior is to establish harmony.”
The Art of Peace (1992)
Context: The real Art of Peace is not to sacrifice a single one of your warriors to defeat an enemy.

It consists in defeating your adversaries spiritually by making them realize the folly of their actions. The Way of a Warrior is to establish harmony.
“Is the harmony that keeps the daily harmony between two people alive.”
Original: (it) È la sintonia a tenere in vita la quotidiana armonia tra due persone.
