In war, numbers alone confer no advantage. Do not advance relying on sheer military power.

Perfection in war lies in so sapping your opponents will that he surrenders without fighting.

Victory comes from finding opportunities in problems.

Without local guides, your enemy employs the land as a weapon against you.

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

Therefore I say: know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril.

Go into emptiness, strike voids, bypass what he defends hit him where he does not expect you.
