  The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
  
  There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.
  
  The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.
  
  To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
  
  Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
  
  Prohibit the taking of omens, and do away with superstitious doubts. Then, until death itself comes, no calamity need be feared.
  
  Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.
  
  Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
  
  Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.
  
  If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near.
  
  He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.
  
  Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.
  
  All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.
  
  All warfare is based on deception.
  
  If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril. If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
