Sun Tzu — "If the enemy leaves a door open, you must rush in."

"The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him."

"Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death."

"In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy’s country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good."

"Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing."

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