    A personal favorite (being chinese) is this one:

    Those who are victorious plan effectively and change
    decisively. They are like a great river that maintains its
    course, but adjusts it flow… They have form but are
    formless. They are skilled in both planning and
    adapting and need not fear the result of a thousand
    battles; for they win in advance, defeating those that
    have already lost.
    — Sun Tzu
