Fundamental Principles
The fundamental principles involved are:
- Avoid areas of likely confrontation. A flanking move always occurs in an uncontested area.
- Make your move quickly and stealthfully. The element of surprise is worth more than a thousand tanks.
- Make moves that the target will not find threatening enough to respond decisively to.

Famous quotes containing the words fundamental and/or principles:
“We are told to maintain constitutions because they are constitutions, and what is laid down in those constitutions?... Certain great fundamental ideas of right are common to the world, and ... all laws of man’s making which trample on these ideas, are null and void—wrong to obey, right to disobey. The Constitution of the United States recognizes human slavery; and makes the souls of men articles of purchase and of sale.”
—Anna Elizabeth Dickinson (1842–1932)
“It is not impossible, of course, after such an administration as Roosevelt’s and after the change in method that I could not but adapt in view of my different way of looking at things, that questions should arise as to whether I should go back on the principles of the Roosevelt administration.... I have a government of limited power under a Constitution, and we have got to work out our problems on the basis of law. Now, if that is reactionary, then I am a reactionary.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
