Appear Weak When You Are Strong And Strong When

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

When strong, avoid them. If of high morale, depress them. Seem humble to fill them with conceit. If at ease, exhaust them. If united, separate them. Attack their weaknesses. Emerge to their surprise.

If your opponent is of choleric temper,  seek to irritate him.  Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.

Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore.
