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

There is no greater weapon than a prepared mind.

First organize the inner, then organize the outer ... First organize the great, then organize the small. First organize yourself, and then organize others.

Do the unexpected, attack the unprepared.

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

Strength is but one aspect of power.

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.
