enthusiasm and morale
 “For the king there is danger of revolt in the interior or in the
outer regions.’’
 “Control over the senses, which are motivated by training in the
sciences, should be secured by giving up lust, anger, greed, pride,
arrogance and overexcitement.’’

8.  If the king is energetic, his subjects will be equally energetic. If
he is slack, his subjects will also be lazy, thereby eating into his
wealth.’’
 “The king, the minister, the country, the fortified city, the
treasury, the army, and the ally are the constituent elements of
the state.’’-Seven pillars of business.
 Success is threefold-that attainable by the power of counsel is
success by counsel, that attainable by power of might is success
by might, that attainable by power of energy is success by
energy.’’

9.  “He (leader) should constantly hold an inspection of their
works, men being inconstant in their minds.’’
 “Just as an elephant, blinded by intoxication and mounted by
an intoxicated driver, crushes whatever it finds, so the king,
not possessed of the eye of science, and blind, has risen to
destroy the citizens and the country people.’’
 “He should hear every urgent matter, not put it off. An affair
postponed becomes difficult to settle or even impossible to
settle.’’

qualities of energy.’’

powers, place, time, revolts in rear, loses, expenses, gains
and troubles, of himself and of the enemy, the conqueror
should march ahead.’’
 “The enemies should not come to know of his secrets; he
should, however, find out the weakness of the enemy. He
should conceal as a tortoise does his limbs, any limb of his
own that may have become exposed.’’
 Time comes but once to a man waiting for an opportunity;
that time is difficult for that man to get again when he
wants to do his work.’’
