Assessing

"In assessing the enemy's castle, there is a saying that goes,`Smoke and mist are like looking at a spring mountain. After the rain is like viewing a clear day.' There is weakness in perfect clarity."

Hagakure,The Book of the Samurai page 277
Yamamoto Tsunetomo
English translation by William Scott Wilson
