Rules by Sun Tzu

  • Rule: Know your enemy and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. 
  • Rule: If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him. 
  • Rule: If the enemy leaves a door open, you must rush in. 
  • Rule: Carefully compare the opposing army with your own, so that you may know where 
  • strength is superabundant and where it is deficient. 
  • Rule: In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact. 
  • Rule: Secret operations are essential in war; upon them the army relies to make its every move.
