The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence, under no circumstances can it be neglected.
Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting. Hence, the art of war shows clearly how to take the initiative and combat the enemy – any enemy. “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”
“If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, the general is to blame. But if his orders are clear and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers.”
Always remember, battles depend upon mobility!
