“You have to believe in yourself.”

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

Ponder and deliberate before you make a move.

All warfare is based on deception.

Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
