仁者無敵 means Strong or wise mind can not be beaten or has no enemy. This phrase is commonly used in Shaolin Temple. Also there was famous incident in Chinese history with this phrase. When King Hui of Wei dynasty got defeated by Qin dynasty during Warning states period, He went to famous philosopher Mencius. Mencius told King Hui "仁者無敵" If king is wise and rule the people as if they are part of your body, people will follow naturally and no one will oppose the king. Mencius also told the king be kind to the people by reducing the punishments, lower the tax, and let the peasants grow their crops during farming season. Teach the soldiers idea of respecting elders, friendship, and trust then only with a bat you can beat the army. This phrase is not created by Mencius. Since the ancient time parents in China told their kids Study hard and grow your knowledge, "Brush(Pen) defeats the sword"
仁 = ren - Wise, Kindness 者 = zhě - He/She Who, Someone 無 = wú - nothing, no, none 敵 = di - enemy
