“You should never play to win but so as not to lose. Think what moves will be quickest beaten, avoid making them, and make whatever move will take most time to beat. In learning any accomplishment, in controlling one's own conduct, and in governing a nation, the same rule applies.”
— Yoshida Kenkō 兼好 1284 – 1350 CE via Sir George Bailey Sansom
