Know Your Enemy, Know His Sword.

Strategy Is The Craft Of The Warrior.

Aspire To Be Like Mt. Fuji, With Such A Broad And Solid Foundation That The Strongest Earthquake Cannot Move You, And So Tall That The Greatest Enterprises Of Common Men Seem Insignificant From Your Lofty Perspective. With Your Mind As High As Mt Fuji You Can See All Things Clearly. And You Can See All The Forces That Shape Events; Not Just The Things Happening Near To You.

Do Not Act Following Customary Beliefs.

Do Not Let Your Spirit Be Influenced By Your Body, Or Your Body Be Influenced By Your Spirit. Be Neither Insufficiently Spirited Or Over Spirited. An Elevated Spirit Is Weak And A Low Spirit Is Weak. Do Not Let The Enemy See Your Spirit.

When In A Fight To The Death, One Wants To Employ All One's Weapons To The Utmost. I Must Say That To Die With One's Sword Still Sheathed Is Most Regrettable.
