You have to believe in yourself.

Ponder and deliberate before you make a move.

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

In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.

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

All warfare is based on deception.

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

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