To Win Any Battle, You

You May Abandon Your Own Body But You Must Preserve Your Honour.

With Your Spirit Open And Unconstricted, Look At Things From A High Point Of View.

There Is Timing In The Whole Life Of The Warrior, In His Thriving And Declining, In His Harmony And Discord. Similarly, There Is Timing In The Way Of The Merchant, In The Rise And Fall Of Capital. All Things Entail Rising And Falling Timing. You Must Be Able To Discern This.

Unless You Really Understand Others, You Can Hardly Attain Your Own Self-understanding.

Thirdly, The Gentleman Warrior, Carrying The Weaponry Of His Way. The Way Of The Warrior Is To Master The Virtue Of His Weapons. If A Gentleman Dislikes Strategy He Will Not Appreciate The Benefit Of Weaponry, So Must He Not Have A Little Taste For This?
