"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat."
"So the principles of warfare are: Do not depend on the enemy not coming, but depend on our readiness against him. Do not depend on the enemy not attacking, but depend on our position that cannot be attacked."
