"If you do not know neither yourself nor your enemies, you will be imperiled in every single battle. If you know yourself but do not know your enemies, you will win one and lose one. If you know yourself and know your enemies, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. Know your enemy and know yourself – your victory will be painless."

~ The Art of War, Sun Tzu
