Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help

Do not sleep under a roof. Carry no money or food. Go alone to places frightening to the common brand of men. Become a criminal of purpose. Be put in jail, and extricate yourself by your own wisdom.

In battle, if you you make your opponent flinch, you have already won.

Water adopts the shape of its receptacle, it is sometimes a trickle and sometimes a wild sea.

The Way is in training... Do nothing which is not of value.

When the enemy starts to collapse you must pursue him without the chance of letting go. If you fail to take advantage of your enemies collapse, they may recover.

If there is a Way involving the spirit of not being defeated, to help oneself and gain honour, it is the Way of Strategy.
