Do not let your opponent see your spirit

If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything.

Do not regret what you have done

The spirit of defeating a man is the same for ten million men. The strategist makes small things into big things, like building a great Buddha from a one foot model.

Too much is the same as not enough.

When you have attained the way of strategy there will be nothing that you cannot understand. You will see the way in everything.

In all forms of strategy, it is necessary to maintain the combat stance in everyday life and to make your everyday stance your combat stance.

See to it that you temper yourself with one thousand days of practice, and refine yourself with ten thousand days of training.

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.
