The Wise Warrior Avoids The Battle

Thus the expert in battle moves the enemy, and is not moved by him.

One may know how to conquer without being able to do it.

Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical.

He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight

A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.

The superior man is dignified, but does not wrangle.
