“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. Vanquish your foes by always keeping yourself in a safe and unassailable position; then no one will suffer any losses. The Way of a Warrior, the Art of Politics, is to stop trouble before it starts. 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.
