- we are expendables of war
- the best thing we can do is to die in dignity
- the worst thing we can do is to die in dishonor
- no other undisputable knowledge exists
- decent life is the shortest path to the decent death
- lengthening the path is to know not the means
- shortening the path means being balked of purpose
- demand love, happiness, personal attention or mercy in the face of the purpose is absurd
- complaining of pain, fear, humiliation or threat means wasting power
- complaining of uncertainty is stupid — the purpose is known
- if you remember this in a hard time — the path becomes shorter
- if you remember this in a good time — the step becomes solid
- gods are laughing at human folly
- for everything you need in order to achieve the purpose is impeccable spirit
- this is the only thing gods do not laugh at
- because all you may get is more than what you need
- and the only thing that one may lack is a dead set
- before taking any action one should ask whether the move is on the shortest path
- each being endowed with death knows an infallible answer
- the answer makes enough determination for taking a step and to accept consequences
- the decision must be made, and step must be committed
