It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be
imperiled in a hundred battles;
if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose
one;
if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every
single battle Sun Tze, The Art of War (6th century BC)
