The general must be the first in the toils and fatigues of the army. In the heat of summer he does not spread his parasol nor in the cold of winter don thick clothing. In dangerous places he must dismount and walk. He waits until the army's wells have been dug and only then drinks; until the army's food is cooked before he eats; until the army's fortifications have been completed, to shelter himself.
Sun TzuAll men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.
Sun TzuMaking no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated.
