00:00Appear weak when you are strong, strong when you are weak.
00:08If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
00:19Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
00:28In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.
00:39Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first
00:47and then seek to win.
00:52To know your enemy, you must become your enemy.
01:00There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare.
01:08Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons, and they will follow you into the deepest
01:15valley.
01:20Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.
01:29Move swift as the wind and closely formed as the wood.
01:35Attack like the fire and be still as the mountain.
01:42Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
01:50There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise
01:56to more melodies than can ever be heard.
02:03When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil.
02:07When full, starve them.
02:10When settled, make them move.
02:16Who wishes to fight must first count the cost.
02:23If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.
02:32Know yourself and you will win all battles.
02:40To win 100 victories in 100 battles is not the acme of skill.
02:47To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
02:55Find your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.
03:03Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness.
03:08Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness.
03:13Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.
03:20The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy so that he cannot fathom our real intent.
03:31What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning
03:39with ease.
03:44Use him and learn the principle of his activity or inactivity.
03:50Force him to reveal himself so as to find out his vulnerable spots.
03:59You have to believe in yourself.
04:04If the mind is willing, the flesh could go on and on without many things.
04:13Thus the expert in battle moved the enemy and is not moved by him.
04:23Attack is the secret of defense.
04:26Defense is the planning of an attack.
04:32Great results can be achieved with small forces.
04:38Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without
05:03ever fighting.
05:07If you ignore both, your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril.
05:16Move not unless you see an advantage.
05:20Use not your troops unless there is something to be gained.
05:25Fight not unless the position is critical.
05:31It is easy to love your friend, but sometimes the hardest lesson to learn is to love your enemy.
05:49If his forces are united, separate them.
05:56You can't trust a man who has nothing to lose.
06:03Plan for what is difficult while it is easy.
06:07Do what is great while it is small.
06:14If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will be weak everywhere.
06:22Be where your enemy is not.
06:28An enemy is a friend who knows too much about you.
06:36Disorder came from order.
06:38Fear came from courage.
06:42Weakness came from strength.
06:47If your friend is friends with your enemy, it means that you should not hang out with this
06:52friend.
06:56Beware of sugar that is mixed with poison.
07:00Beware of the fly that sat on a dead snake.
07:07Who does not know the evils of war cannot appreciate its benefits.
07:15Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions.
07:27Regard your soldiers as your children and they will follow you into the deepest valleys.
07:35Look on them as your own beloved sons.
07:41A leader leads by example, not by force.
07:48He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
07:58In making tactical dispositions, the highest pitch you can attain is to conceal them.
08:08Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory.
08:14Force without strategy is noise before defeat.
08:22The captured soldiers should be kindly treated and kept.
08:29One need not destroy one's enemy.
08:33One need only destroy his willingness to engage.
08:40Every animal with blood in its veins and horns on its head will fight when it is attacked.
08:50Never trust a friend who is silent about your flaws.
09:10Therefore, with feathers will heal to destroy another enemy of the body.
09:19Falling with blood in its veins.
09:23Let's do the same thing.
09:24And then the other way does the last thing that he enjoys how to handle both sides and sides of the body.
