"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat."
"He who wishes to fight must first count the cost. When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be dampened. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength."
