To seduce the enemies soldiers from their allegiance and encourage them to surrender is of special service, for an adversary is more hurt by desertion than by slaughter.

An army is strengthened by labor and enervated by idleness.

In war, discipline is superior to strength; but if that discipline is neglected there is no longer any difference between the soldier and the peasant.

Few men are born brave. Many become so through training and force of discipline.

Let him who desires peace prepare for war.

If you want peace, prepare for the war.

Valor is superior to number.
