"We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors."

"In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack - the direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers. The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn. It is like moving in a circle - you never come to an end. Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination?"



"The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him."
