Sun Tzu Quotes

Generally, on positioning the army and observing the enemy: To
cross mountains, stay close to the valleys; observe on high
ground and face the sunny side. If the enemy holds the high
ground, do not ascend and do battle with him. This is positioning
the army in the mountains. After crossing a river, you must stay
far away from it. If the enemy crosses a river, do not meet him
in the water. When half of his forces has crossed, it will then
be advantageous to strike. If you want to do battle with the
enemy, do not position your forces near the water facing the
enemy; take high ground facing the sunny side, and do not
position downstream. This is positioning the army near rivers.
                -- Sun Tsu, "The Art of War"
