  1. Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be defeated.
    The Art of War ch. 3
  2. The worst policy is to attack cities.
    The Art of War ch. 3
  3. To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
    The Art of War ch. 3
  4. Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.
    The Art of War ch. 4
