Quotation from: The Art of War

Written by: Sunzi (6th cent. B.C.)


[The prime object of attacking with fire is to throw the
enemy into confusion. If this effect is not produced, it means
that the enemy is ready to receive us. Hence the necessity for
caution.]


8. (3) When the force of the flames has reached its height,
follow it up with an attack, if that is practicable; if not, stay
where you are.


[Ts`ao Kung says: "If you see a possible way, advance; but
if you find the difficulties too great, retire."]
