Arthur Golden
If you aren't the woman I think you are, then this isn't the world I thought it was.
Arthur Golden
I never seek to defeat the man I am fighting, he explained. I seek to defeat his confidence. A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. Two men are equals - true equals - only when they both have equal confidence.
