Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.

Be extremely subtle even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent’s fate.
~ Sun Tzu

:::

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.
~ Sun Tzu

…

“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”

~ Sun Tzu

Speed is the essence of war. Take advantage of the enemy’s unpreparedness; travel by unexpected routes and strike him where he has taken no precautions.
~ Sun Tzu

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.
