1017 IX, 12 | every kind, and this will spell victory.~
1018 XIII, 5 | cannot be elicited from spirits; it cannot be obtained inductively
1019 XII, 18 | merely to gratify his own spleen; no general should fight

1033 IX, 22 | the sign of an ambuscade. Startled beasts indicate that a sudden
1034 VI, 4 | supplied with food, he can starve him out; if quietly encamped,
1035 XI, 13 | In difficult ground, keep steadily on the march.~
1036 XI, 8 | Mountain forests, rugged steeps, marshes and fens -- all

1061 II, 5 | though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness
1062 V, 18 | is simply a question of subdivision; concealing courage under

1064 IX, 35 | small knots or speaking in subdued tones points to disaffection
1065 II, 26 | Therefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy's troops without

1131 IX, 35 | knots or speaking in subdued tones points to disaffection amongst
1132 II, 16 | those should be rewarded who took the first. Our own flags

1135 IX, 15 | precipitous cliffs with torrents running between, deep natural
1136 XI, 9 | which we can only retire by tortuous paths, so that a small number

1143 X, 2 | Ground which can be freely traversed by both sides is called
1144 II, 4 | strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains
1145 V, 15 | decision, to the releasing of a trigger.~
1146 II, 27 | without losing a man, his triumph will be complete. This is
1147 IX, 38 | that the enemy wishes for a truce.~
1148 XI, 31 | not enough to put one's trust in the tethering of horses,

1167 XI, 19 | unreadiness, make your way by unexpected routes, and attack unguarded
1168 XI, 22 | on the move, and devise unfathomable plans.~
1169 XI, 19 | unexpected routes, and attack unguarded spots.~
1170 XII, 15 | 15. Unhappy is the fate of one who tries
1171 XI, 46 | would inspire my men with unity of purpose. On facile ground,
1172 IX, 32 | gather on any spot, it is unoccupied. Clamor by night betokens
1173 XI, 19 | advantage of the enemy's unreadiness, make your way by unexpected
1174 V, 3 | enemy's attack and remain unshaken -- this is effected by maneuvers
1175 II, 25 | while the town still remains untaken. Such are the disastrous
