More quotes by Sun Tzu
Therefore I say: know the enemy and know yourself in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril.
Sun Tzu
Knowledge of the enemy's dispositions can only be obtained from other men.
Sun Tzu
The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.
Sun Tzu
When the higher officers are angry and insubordinate, and on meeting the enemy give battle on their own account from a feeling of resentment, before the commander-in-chief can tell whether or not he is in a position to fight, the result is ruin.
Sun Tzu
It is sufficient to estimate the enemy situation correctly and to concentrate your strength to capture him. There is no more to it than this. He who lacks foresight and underestimates his enemy will surely be captured by him.
Sun Tzu
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle
Sun Tzu
For them to perceive the advantage of defeating the enemy, they must also have their rewards.
Sun Tzu
A clever general... avoids an army when its spirit is keen, but attacks it when it is sluggish and inclined to return. This is the art of studying moods. Disciplined and calm, he awaits the appearance of disorder and hubbub among the enemy. This is the art of retaining self-possession.
Sun Tzu
Those who are victorious plan effectively and change decisively. They are like a great river that maintains its course but adjusts its flow.
Sun Tzu
There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefitted.
Sun Tzu
However desperate the situation and circumstances, don't despair. When there is everything to fear, be unafraid. When surrounded by dangers, fear none of them. When without resources, depend on resourcefulness. When surprised, take the enemy by surprise.
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
Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay its price.
Sun Tzu
Bestow rewards without regard to rule, issue orders without regard to previous arrangements and you will be able to handle a whole army as though you had to do with but a single man.
Sun Tzu
The successful person has unusual skill at dealing with conflict and ensuring the best outcome for all.
Sun Tzu
In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory.
Sun Tzu
The consummate leader cultivates the moral law, and strictly adheres to method and discipline thus it is in his power to control success.
Sun Tzu
Without harmony in the State, no military expedition can be undertaken without harmony in the army, no battle array can be formed.
Sun Tzu
Engage people with what they expect it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment - that which they cannot anticipate.
Sun Tzu
Great results, can be achieved with small forces.
Sun Tzu
