  1. 非利不動非得不用非危不戰
  2. 主不可以怒而興師將不可以慍而致戰
  3. 合於利而動不合於利而止

17. Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical.

18. No ruler should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no general should fight a battle simply out of pique.

19. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are.
