Balk the enemy's power; force him to reveal himself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near.
I have nothing to hide in art. The initial force alone can bring anyone to the end he must attain.
Whoever benefits his enemy with straightforward intention that man's enemies will soon fold their hands in devotion.
Always remember the first rule of power tactics; power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
The enemy resembles us. Therefore, he needs to be approached not as an assembly of 'targets' to be destroyed one by one; but as a living, intelligent entity capable of acting and reacting.
Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.
I can do nothing with the enemy save observe him.
Never interrupt your opponent when he's destroying himself.
Flee an enemy who knows your weakness.
Treat your friend as if he might become an enemy.
