When one treats people with benevolence, justice, and righteoousness, and reposes confidence in them, the army will be united in mind and all will be happy to serve their leaders'. Sun Tzu

(2) Hewill win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.(3) He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughoutall its ranks. (4) He will win who, prepared himself, waits to takethe enemy unprepared. (5) He will win who has military capacity andis not interfered with by the sovereign. Sun Tzu

It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten to the enemy's one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him; if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two. Sun Tzu
