Those whose upper and lower ranks have the same desire are victorious.

With regard to ground of this nature, be before the enemy in occupying the raised and sunny spots, and carefully guard your line of supplies. Then you will be able to fight with advantage.

If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight.

Weak leadership can wreck the soundest strategy; forceful execution of even a poor plan can often bring victory.

He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.

Don't flail against the world, use it. Flexibility is the operative principle in the art of war.

Know thy self, know thy enemy.
