For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.
Knowledge is not skill. Knowledge plus ten thousand times is skill.
In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.
Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.
We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
Superior and inferior wage one hundred battles a day.
To see victory only when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme of excellence.
