9 Apr 2013 5:14 am John Hawkins

My latest Townhall column is called, In Tribute To The Iron Lady: The 25 Greatest Quotes From Margaret Thatcher. Here’s an excerpt from the column.

Margaret Thatcher has left us.

The Best Quotes From “Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai”
18 Feb 2013 5:52 am John Hawkins

Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai is a classic 300 year old book about bushido, which is the Samurai’s “way of the warrior.” There’s a lot of wisdom in the book, although all of it is not applicable to modern life. Even in the areas where Yamamoto Tsunetomo’s honor code doesn’t quite fit, it still entertains and fascinates, as you’re about to see.
