He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.

He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.

He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.

He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.

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

It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten to the enemy's one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him; if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two.
