However desperate the situation and circumstances, don’t despair. When there is everything to fear, be unafraid. When surrounded by dangers, fear none of them. When without resources, depend on resourcefulness. When surprised, take the enemy by surprise.

Sun Tzu

If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him.

Sun Tzu

If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them.

Sun Tzu

If the enemy know not where he will be attacked, he must prepare in every quarter, and so be everywhere weak.

Sun Tzu

If the enemy opens the door, you must race in.

Sun Tzu

If there is disturbance in the camp, the general’s authority is weak. If the banners and flags are shifted about, sedition is afoot. If the officers are angry, it means that the men are weary.
