Stuck to the bottom of a PDA, and accidentally handed off to a hotdog vendor, it is a list of basic ISA inspirational phrases and words of wisdom, handed out last Christmas as party favors:

The best illusion is the one closest to the reality.
Show people what they wish to believe.
Force is the least efficient tool. Use it only when no other fits.
Always have a tertiary plan.
Overestimation is as bad as underestimation.
White bread is bad for you.
Take time to reflect and think. You'll discover the hidden traps.
The difference between authority and coercion is completely subjective.
Every being fears something.
Strengths are weakness.
Keep your suit pressed, your tie straight, and your shoes shined.
There are always six degrees of seperation. Use them.
Keep the initiative.
Do not reveal yourself until the kill is complete, if at all.
Violence is not an end unto itself.
The difference between civility and barbarity is interior control.
The difference between society and anarchy is exterior control.
We are the control.
