Thus The Expert In Battle Moves The Enemy And Is

"The wise warrior avoids the battle."

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster."

"Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical."

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

"To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."

"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."
