في حياة المحارب كلّها توقيت: في ازدهاره وانحداره، وفي وفاقه وخلافه. وكذلك في طريق التاجر توقيتٌ في صعود رأس المال وهبوطه. فكلّ شيء له توقيتُ صعودٍ وهبوط. وعليك أن تُحسن التمييز بين ذلك.

“There is timing in the whole life of the warrior, in his thriving and declining, in his harmony and discord. Similarly, there is timing in the Way of the merchant, in the rise and fall of capital. All things entail rising and falling timing. You must be able to discern this.”Miyamoto Musashi — Honor: Samurai Philosophy of Life - The Essential Samurai Collection; The Book of Five Rings, Hagakure: The Way of the Samurai, Bushido: The Soul of Japan (2010)
