Chapter 9, Verses 5 and 6 - Sun Tzu

If you are anxious to fight, you should not go to meet the invader near a river which he has to cross. Moor your craft higher up than the enemy, and facing the sun. Do not move up-stream to meet the enemy. So much for river warfare.
~ from The Art of War, Giles translation ~
