Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death. Prohibit the taking of omens, and do away with superstitious doubts. Then, until death itself comes, no calamity need be feared. Opportunities multiply as they are seized. The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. |
