If you make clear what is to be rewarded and what punished, make your directives reliable, keep your machines in good repair, train and exercise your officers and troops, and let their strengths be known so as to overcome the opponent psychologically, this is considered good.

For the weekend:
The condition of a military force is that its essential factor is speed, taking advantage of others' failure to catch up, going by routes they do not expect, attacking where they are not on guard.

I think your close, Sir Jason, but not quite specific enough...
I read it as, " Everyone knows that a foot must contact an ass, but only a few know how to get someone to bend over for it."
