About This Quote
The quote: “Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands.” is a statement that is both profound and simple, but with no less power than anything else ever written. The ancient Chinese sage, Lao Tzu , was certainly one of the most important philosophers in history. He was known for his profound theories on many topics, but one of his most famous quotes is this: "You may not realize it, but by knowing the enemy and knowing yourself, you win a hundred battles before you win your first.”
