Preparedness-Sun Tzu
From World's Chinese Wiki
Preparedness - Sun Tzu
English: Thus, in the conduct of war, one must not rely on the failure of the enemy to come, but on the readiness of oneself to engage him. One must not rely on the failure of the enemy to attack, but on the ability of oneself to build an invincible defence.
Modern: 用兵之法是，不要寄望敌人不会来，而要依靠自己，充分军备，严阵以待；不要寄望敌人不会进攻，而要依靠自己，使自己不易攻破。
Original: 故用兵之法，无恃其不来，恃吾有以待也；无恃其不攻，恃吾有所不可攻也。
