“Whenever you find yourself facing an opponent, remember this: there is no shame in doing whatever you need to survive. In fact, in my experience people tend to focus on results, not the way they were achieved.
Of course, you might not listen to me. You might think: ‘Well, I shall never cheat, there’s no honour in it’. If so, I wish you the best of luck, really.
Just remember: I’m the one dying in my bed, at the ripe age of seventy two, surrounded by my family and neighbours, all of whom will shed many, many tears when I’m gone. And you will probably die when some clever bastard stabs you in the neck, leaving you on the ground in a puddle of your own blood, piss and shit.”
