'To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.'

'The best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good.'

'In the wise leader's plans, considerations of advantage and of disadvantage will be blended together.'

'No ruler should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no general should fight a battle simply out of pique.'
