"To achieve victory when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme
of excellence. Nor is it the true acme of excellence when you win and the whole
empire says, "Well done!". True excellence is to plan secretly, to move 
surreptitiously, to foil the enemy's plans and to balk his schemes, so that at
the end, the day is won without shedding a drop of blood.
