Don't just fight in the North or the South. Always imagine every battle in your mind, where everyone is both your enemy and your friend, and all possible events happen simultaneously. That way, nothing will take you by surprise, and everything that happens will be something you've already imagined.
Home is not where you live but where they understand you.
The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.
