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

"Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain."

"The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent."

"Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy."

"Concentrate your energy and hoard your strength."
