Ancient Chinese Secret, Huh? II
"5. When your weapons are dulled and your ardor dampened, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, neighboring rulers will take advantage of your distress to act. And even though you have wise counselors, none will be able to lay good plans for the future.
6. Thus, while we have heard of blundering swiftness in war, we have not yet seen a clever operation that was prolonged."
