If you want to learn the craft of war, ponder over this book. The teacher is as a needle, the disciple is as thread. You must practice constantly.

Consider yourself lightly; consider the world deeply.

Also by training you will be able to freely control your own body, conquer men with your body, and with sufficient training you will be able to beat ten men with your spirit. When you have reached this point, will it not mean that you are invincible?

In the void is virtue, and no evil. Wisdom has existence, principle has existence, the Way has existence, spirit is nothingness.

Whatever your determination or will power, it is foolish to try to change the nature of things. Things work the way they do because that is the way of things

If the enemy stays spirited it is difficult to crush him.

Whatever the Way, the master of strategy does not appear fast.
