Too Much Is The Same As Not

You Win Battles By Knowing The Enemy's Timing, And Using A Timing Which The Enemy Does Not Expect.

When In A Fight To The Death, One Wants To Employ All One's Weapons To The Utmost. I Must Say That To Die With One's Sword Still Sheathed Is Most Regrettable.

If The Enemy Thinks Of The Mountains, Attack Like The Sea; And If He Thinks Of The Sea, Attack Like The Mountains.

In Strategy Your Spiritual Bearing Must Not Be Any Different From Normal. Both In Fighting And In Everyday Life You Should Be Determined Though Calm. Meet The Situation Without Tenseness Yet Not Recklessly, Your Spirit Settled Yet Unbiased.

You Should Not Have Any Special Fondness For A Particular Weapon, Or Anything Else, For That Matter. Too Much Is The Same As Not Enough. Without Imitating Anyone Else, You Should Have As Much Weaponry As Suits You.
