A good soldier is not
violent. A good fighter
is not angry. A good
winner is not vengeful.
Laozi
This quote promotes a non-violent and non-confrontational way to solve problems. It encourages people to work things out through discussion, communication, and cooperation instead of using violence or conflict.
The supreme art of war
is to beat the enemy
without fighting.
Sunzi
Read and Think
"Without fighting" does not mean avoiding war, but using strategies and balancing interests to weaken the enemy’s will or ability to resist, making them give up voluntarily. It aims to achieve complete victory at the lowest cost, showing strategic wisdom and broad vision beyond just using force.

There never was a good war or a bad peace.
Benjamin Franklin
You cannot prevent and prepare for war at the same time.
Albert Einstein
Read and Think
No matter the reason, war always brings destruction, casualties, and losses. Even an imperfect peace can avoid bloodshed and protect lives while allowing development. We should advocate cherishing peace instead of rashly starting wars.
Preventing war needs cooperation, trust, and diplomacy. But preparing for war basically strengthens a confrontational way of thinking. This raises suspicion and conflict risks, making prevention impossible. True peace comes from solving the real problems behind conflicts, not from military preparations.
