If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

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

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
