a famous chinese proverb (if you should be defeated in battle... )

at 48.29 (slightly before) sergio martino discusses a famous chinese proverb (and it's one of horsemouth's favourite proverbs too) - can you tell which one it is? they don't translate it (so you'll have to work hard for it). 

meanwhile horsemouth was up last night suffering with dental pain. he's feeling better right now. he's got some oil of cloves from ian (that seems to be doing the trick) and he's had some paracetamol to take the edge off (that seems to be doing the trick also). if that doesn't do the trick there's some proper pain relief about also. to complicate matters he also has a shocker of a cold. 

he's been out, put some credit on his phone, and postponed the various things he has to do. he will now go back to bed and see if he can get in a snooze. 

it's a full six months since horsemouth last did a stroke of work.  the works pension (about £50/ month) continues to arrive - sadly horsemouth is drinking it (he will have to start avoiding pubs again and putting effort into sitting outside on the front steps). has horsemouth settled into his 'retirement' (or is he still in the process of transition?).

he has been reading about the bauhaus - gropius, schlemmer, klee, kandinsky, johannes itten, and the  related doesburg.
