The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands
He who relies solely on warlike measures shall be exterminated; he who relies solely on peaceful measures shall perish.
In war, numbers alone confer no advantage. Do not advance relying on sheer military power.
Great results, can be achieved with small forces.
The natural formation of the country is the soldier's best ally
If the enemy has occupied them before you, do not follow him, but retreat and try to entice him away.
