Translations of Chinese text on page 2:1. Gen Huddleston, in the Foreward to the History
of the CFWS:
Know the enemy, know yourself, your victory will never be endangered; Know the ground, know the weather,
your victory will be total.
2."The Art of Strategy" and subtitled "A New Translation of Sun Tzu's Classic The Art of War" by R. L. Wing, the quote appears, along with many others. There, it is translated as: Know the other and know yourself: Triumph without peril. Know Nature and know the Situation: Triumph
completely.
3. From Qing Liao, CMOS Office Manager (August 2008) - it is a proverb that every Chinese schoolchild learns very early in school. It is highly relevant to many situations but notably war and warriors. Know the other, know yourself; you will win easily. Know the place and know the weather; you will
win completely.
