Diplomacy Without Military Might Is Like Music Without Instruments.

Every Man Must Get To Heaven His Own Way.

Great Advantage Is Drawn From Knowledge Of Your Adversary, And When You Know The Measure Of His Intelligence And Character, You Can Use It To Play On His Weakness.

Do Not Neglect The Principles Of Foresight And Know That Often, Puffed Up With Success, Armies Have Lost The Fruit Of Their Heroism Through A Feeling Of False Security.
