The Art of War: Chapter 1 – Sentence 16

This page contains my translation of Sentence 16 of Chapter 1:

If your opponent has an advantage, bait him.
If he is in disorder, attack him.
If he is solid, prepare for him.
If he is strong, evade him.
If he is angry, goad him.
If he is humble, encourage arrogance.
If he is resting, force exertion.
If he is united, divide him.
