Knowledge and Philosophy
One of the greatest ways to do mind tricks is just to be intelligent.
Common Knowlege: (morals from fables)
A strong defence pays off in the end.
Something that seems innocent, can have disastrous outcomes.
Don't go where you don't belong.
Even the most tricky person will fail at one point.
Even the most seemingly useless can turn out to be useful.
Sometimes things are not what they seem to be.
Only the people who work hard, will get rewarded for their work.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Ancient Philosophy: (From many philosophers)
He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment.
Only those who attempt the absurd achieve the impossible.
Cogito ergo sum (I think therefor I am). Note: if the world is just a trick, There must be a you for the trick to be played on.
Creatio ex nihilo (creation out of nothing). Note: Only a supreme being could have created existence, so there must be God.
Everything is made of thought. Since there is a consistency, we must be partaking in God's thoughts.
The Lord works out everything for his own ends---even the wicked for a day of disaster.
In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
You can't win if you don't enter the race.
When words are not better then silence, one should keep silent.
An enemy you vanquish remains your enemy. An enemy you convince becomes your friend.
Keep your eye on the sky, and your feet on the ground.
Having power is not nearly as important as what you do with it.
A ship in a harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.
It is the battle within ourselves that brings out our true worth.
Warrior Philosophy: (from Miyamoto Musashi)
People in this world look at things mistakenly, and think that what they do not understand must be the void. This is not the true void. It is bewilderment...
With your spirit open and unconstricted, look at things from a high point of view.
Perception is strong and sight weak. In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things.
Study strategy over the years and achieve the spirit of the warrior. Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.
You win battles by knowing the enemy's timing, and using a timing which the enemy does not expect.
