    You do know that Athena also is the Godess of War, right?

      Yes kind of. I like her also because she is not like the others, so soft and depending etc.

        Go to war with wisdom as your shield. Dangerous combination indeed!!

          Go to war with wisdom as your shield, and love as your heart.

            Mmm, the last addition is not completely clear to me...

            Do you mean love it as your heart?

              I think they're two separate proverbs, "Go to war with wisdom as your sheild" and also "love as your heart". Could be wrong though.

                I simply can't translate a meaning into my native tongue. Literally translated it makes no sense. Perhaps love it as you love yourself comes closest...

                  Perhaps "Go to war with wisdom as your sheild and with love as your heart."?

                    'With love in your heart' makes sense, as is the main word making the rest incomprehensible.

                      It does make sense I think, but it's the metaphor thats confusing. It might be easier to think of it as "Go to war with wisdom as your sheild and as if love were your heart."

                        "Go to war with wisdom as your shield and as if love were in your heart."

                        With the little addition it makes the most sense.

                            Yeah, makes sense.

                            Guess it's waiting on HongHu now if this was what she meant.

                              I meant go to war with wisdom as your shield and spam as your heart.

                              Ok ok I'm never good with grammars ok? Haven't you all heart my TOEFL story? Anyway how about this

                              Go to war with wisdom as your shield and trust as your sword, and love in your heart.
