More Wisdom from Sun Tzu

Planning a Siege
- So it is said that if you know others and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know others but know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know others and do not know yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.
- Therefore those who win every battle are not really skillful--those who render other's armies helpless without fighting are the best of all.

Nine Grounds
The question may be asked, can a military force be made to e like this swift snake? The answer is that it can. Even people who dislike each other, if in the same boat, will help each other out in trouble.
