Cao Cao quotes:

What is at a peak is certain to decline. He who shows his hand will surely be defeated. He who can prevail in battle by taking advantage of his enemy's doubts is invincible.

Any who stand in my way shall be cut down!

I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me.

I like to kill people in my dreams, so when I fall asleep be sure not to come too close.

Each man is for his lord, do not give chase.

You can't judge a book by its cover, can you?

I'd rather let the world down than to allow the world to let me down.

I remain myself. I have never cared about others misjudging me

I would employ the wise and strong of the empire, using righteousness to lead them. In this way, nothing is impossible.

I will show you the path to the spirit world.

My ambition cannot be stopped!

Rather we let down the world than the world let us down!
