It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten to the enemy's one, to surround him if five to one, to attack him if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two.

To perceive victory when it is known to all is not really skilful... It does not take much strength to lift a hair, it does not take sharp eyes to see the sun and moon, it does not take sharp ears to hear the thunderclap.

Nothing is more difficult than the art of maneuvering for advantageous positions.
Sun Tzu
Image
If I determine the enemy's disposition of forces while I have no perceptible form, I can concentrate my forces while the enemy is fragmented. The pinnacle of military deployment approaches the formless: if it is formless, then even the deepest spy cannot discern it nor the wise make plans against it.
Sun Tzu
Image
The natural formation of the country is the soldier's best ally but a power of estimating the adversary, of controlling the forces of victory, and of shrewdly calculating difficulties, dangers and distances, constitutes the test of a great general.
Sun Tzu
Image
The height of strategy, is to attack your opponent's strategy.
Sun Tzu
Image
the leader of armies is the arbiter of the people's fate, the man on whom it depends whether the nation shall be in peace or in peril.
Sun Tzu
Image
Bring war material with you from home, but forage on the enemy... use the conquered foe to augment one's own strength.
Sun Tzu
Image
A wise general makes a point of foraging of the enemy.
Sun Tzu
Image
To a surrounded enemy, you must leave a way of escape.
Sun Tzu
Image
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable when using our forces, we must seem inactive when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
Sun Tzu
