"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat."
"The essential factor of military success is speed, that is taking advantage of others' unpreparedness or lack of foresight, their failure to catch up, going by routes they do not expect, attacking where they are not on guard. This you cannot accomplish with hesitation."
