The one who figures on victory at headquarters before even doing battle is the one who has the most strategic factors on his side

The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate

 

 

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win

 

Let your plans be dark and as impenetratable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt
