"The difficulty of tactical maneuvering consists in turning the devious into the direct, and misfortune into gain."

Previous Quote

You can ensure the success of your attacks if you only attack places that are undefended. You can ensure the safety of your defense if you only hold positions that cannot be attacked. Therefore, that general is skillful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skillful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.

— Sun Tzu
