"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat."
"When you know both yourself as well as your competition, you are never in danger. To know yourself and not others, gives you half a chance of winning. Knowing neither yourself or your competition puts you in a position to lose."
