We cannot enter into alliance with neighbouring princes until we are acquainted with their designs. We are not fit to lead an army on the march unless we are familiar with the face of the country - its mountains and forests, its pitfalls and precipices, its marshes and swamps. We shall be unable to turn natural advantages to account unless we make use of local guides.
Sun TzuEnergy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow; decision, to the releasing of a trigger.
Sun TzuIf the enemy has occupied them before you, do not follow him, but retreat and try to entice him away.
Sun Tzu
