Politics = Chess VI

Does increasing risk when odds are good lower subsequent risk?


 


Rejoice not at your enemy’s fall,


 but don’t pick him up either.


 


Yiddish proverb


 


What do you do in a battle in which you die if you don’t fight or lose?


 


Whoever has his foe at his mercy and does not kill him,


is his own enemy.


 


Shaikh Sa’di Shirazi
