"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat."
"Those who do not know the plans of competitors cannot prepare alliances. Those who do not know the lay of the land cannot maneuver their forces. Those who do not use local guides cannot take advantage of the ground."
