If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. Source: Sun Tuz. The art of war. Translation by Samuel B. Griffith. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 1998.
