In this category I introduce some witticism by Japanese great person in history.
Today's witticism is by
沖田総司
おきたそうじ
(Sōji Okita )
大刀を損じれば小刀を抜きなさい。
小刀を損じれば鞘で、鞘を損じれば素手でも戦いなさい。
戦場では誰も待ってはくれないのですよ。
(daitou wo sonjireba shoutou wo nukinasai.shoutou wo sonjireba muchide muchi wo sonjireba sude demo tatakainasai. senjou dewa daremo matte wa kurenai no desuyo)
If you lost big sword , take small sword. If you lost small sword , then whip . Lost whip , then fight just by yourself , just by your body.At the battlefield nobody wait for you.
