《棋经十三篇·合战篇》
善于局部较量的人不争求，善于列阵的人并不在局部较量，善于作战的人不会失败，善于失败的人即使失败也不会溃乱。
善胜者不争，善阵者不战。善战者不败，善败者不乱。
Those who are good at fighting in parts do not contend; those who are good at forming arrays do not fight in parts; those who are good at fighting do not fail; those who are good at failing do not get into chaos even if they fail.
