Probably, yes, and he may have been the first to place it in literature, this site says so - home.t-online.de ... so does this one - sexandsunshine.blogspot.com But i have seen it attributed to pre-Clausewitz anonymes ... speaking of C, here's a clip from that latter site - '"Wenn Du den Gegner kennst und Dich selbst, dann brauchst Du hundert Schlachten nicht zu fürchten. Wenn Du dich selbst kennst, aber nicht den Gegner, wirst Du für jeden errungenen Sieg eine Niederlage erleiden " In English: If you know your enemy and yourself, you will not have to fear a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not your enemy, you will suffer a defeat for every victory achieved.'
