Other conditions being equal, if one force is hurled against another ten times its size, the result will be the flight of the former.
Sun TzuThus we may know that there are five essentials for victory: He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces. He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.
Sun TzuFor them to perceive the advantage of defeating the enemy, they must also have their rewards.
Sun TzuStrategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
