Those who are skilled in combat do notbecome angered, those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid. Thus the wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.

An enlightened ruler doesnot worry about people not knowing him; he worriesabout not knowing people.

Good generals select intelligent officers, thoughtful advisors, and brave subordinates. They oversee their troops like a fierce tiger with wings.

Battles are not won by strength alone!

There is no greater weapon than a prepared mind.

To overcome the intelligent by folly is contrary to the natural order of things; to overcome the foolish by intelligence is in accord with the natural order. To overcome the intelligent by intelligence, however, is a matter of opportunity.

What loss is there in dignity, what worry is there of failure?
