PART II WEALTH
CHAPTER 49
JUDGING THE OPPORTUNE MOMENT
481. The crow triumpheth over the owl when it is day : so opportunity is a great thing to the prince who would vanquish his enemy.
482. To follow closely on the pace of Time : that is the cord that will bind Fortune to thee firmly.
483. Where is the thing called impossible if thou start on thy enterprise with a knowledge of the right season and employ the proper means?
484. Thou canst conquer even the whole world if thou choose the proper time and the proper objectives.
485. Those that are intent on conquests will be quietly watching their opportunity : they will know neither confusion nor hurry.
