This is my favorite part...

"18. All warfare is based on deception.

19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we
are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near."

It's served me well over the years. Not about warfare, obviously, but any adversarial relationship with a person, organization or institution.
