Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu (Sayings recorded between 6th-3rd century BCE)

"Anger
     Can turn to
     Pleasure;
Spite
     Can turn to 
     Joy.
But a nation destroyed
     Cannot be
     Put back together again;
     A dead man
     Canot be brought back to life."

• From Sun Tzu's The Art of War (Chapter Twelve), translated by John Minford (Penguin Classics edition).
