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:
“Disney World has acquired by now something of the air of a national shrine. American parents who don’t take their children there sense obscurely that they have failed in some fundamental way, like Muslims who never made it to Mecca.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
“Ah, I fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your “emancipation.” You have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. You have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields—discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West—superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
