Quote by Thomas Merton
“Si sabes que tus soldados son capaces de atacar, pero ignoras si el enemigo es invulnerable a un ataque, tienes solo la mitad de posibilidades de ganar. Si sabes que tu enemigo es vulnerable a un ataque, pero ignoras si tus soldados son capaces de atacar, sólo tienes la mitad de posibilidades de ganar. Si sabes que el enemigo es vulnerable a un ataque y que tus soldados pueden llevarlo a cabo, pero ignoras si la condición del terreno es favorable para la batalla, tienes la mitad de probabilidades de vencer.”
