hide A leader leads by example not by force.

To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.
Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

All warfare is based on deception.
Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.
