"One mark of a great soldier is that he fight on his own terms or fights not at all."

"Quickness is the essence of the war."

"If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. "
