"The only way to win is to make the enemy think you are not there."

"He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight."

"Put them in a place whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight."

"Never venture on a campaign until you have made your preparations in every respect."

"Be subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you may be the director of the enemy's fate."
