More quotes by Sun Tzu
Victory comes from finding opportunities in problems.
Sun Tzu
The control of a large force is the same principle as the control of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers.
Sun Tzu
The ultimate in disposing one's troops is to be without ascertainable shape. Then the most penetrating spies cannot pry in nor can the wise lay plans against you.
Sun Tzu
There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare.
Sun Tzu
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle
Sun Tzu
It is a doctrine of war not to assume the enemy will not come, but rather to rely on one's readiness to meet him not to presume that he will not attack, but rather to make one's self invincible.
Sun Tzu
Agitate him and ascertain the pattern of his movement.
Sun Tzu
A leader leads by example not by force.

Sun Tzu
In war, practice dissimulation and you will succeed.
Sun Tzu
Thus the highest form of generalship is to balk the enemy's plans, the next best is to prevent the junction of the enemy's forces, the next in order is to attack the enemy's army in the field, and the worst policy of all is to besiege walled cities.
Sun Tzu
When envoys are sent with compliments in their mouths, it is a sign that the enemy wishes for a truce.
Sun Tzu
When strong, avoid them. If of high morale, depress them. Seem humble to fill them with conceit. If at ease, exhaust them. If united, separate them. Attack their weaknesses. Emerge to their surprise.
Sun Tzu
The King is only fond of words, and cannot translate them into deeds.
Sun Tzu
Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge.
Sun Tzu
The rising of birds in their flight is the sign of an ambuscade. Startled beasts indicate that a sudden attack is coming.
Sun Tzu
If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril.
Sun Tzu
Thus those skilled in war subdue the enemy's army without battle .... They conquer by strategy.
Sun Tzu
