KNOW THINE ENEMY

Marvin Marcelino

“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 will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself,
you will succumb in every battle.”― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
