In deploying military forces pay heed to the dictum:
Better a guest than a host.
Play the responsive role:
for retreat can serve better than advance.
March in formation formlessly.
Raise arms harmlessly.
Fight enemies without enmity.
Maintain defences undefensively.
Yet never underestimate your opponent or you will lose everything.
When evenly matched forces meet,
the more humane side will win.
