One who speaks deferentially but increases his preparations will advance. One who speaks belligerently and advances hastily will retreat.
Sun TzuIf I wish to engage, then the enemy, for all his high ramparts and deep moat, cannot avoid engagement; I attack that which he is obliged to rescue.
Sun TzuIt is according to the shapes that I lay the plans for victory, but the multitude does not comprehend this. Although everyone can see the outward aspects, none understands the way in which I have created victory.
