    Knowing tactics is to know what is to do.

    Knowing strategy is knowing what to do when there is nothing to do...

    Whether a man is a criminal or a public servant is purely a matter of perspective.

    Your sentence has four consecutive 'hads'.
    The following sentence, making complete sense, has eleven:

    "James, where John had had 'had', had had 'had had'. 'Had had' had had the teacher's approval."

    Work it out.....

    That's two sentences, not one. One could probably get away with it using a semi-colon instead of the first period.

    Ah yes, jobs. Once upon a time, souls were traded for immortality or riches. Now we are bought and sold with the promise of jobs. The human spirit is devalued currency. How the devil must be laughing.”
