There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:
(I) Recklessness, which leads to destruction.
(2) Cowardice, which leads to capture.
(3) A hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults.
(4) A delicacy of honour which is sensitive to shame.
(5) Over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
These are the five besetting sins of a general, ruinous to the conduct of war.

Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.
The spot where we intend to fight must not be made known; the enemy will have to prepare against a possible attack at several different points; his forces being thus distributed in many directions; the numbers we shall have to face at any given point will be proportionately few.

there are five essentials for victory:
(I) He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight
(2) He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces
(3) He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks
(4) He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared
(5) He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign
