So there are five ways of knowing who will win. Those who know when to fight and when not to fight are victorious. Those who discern when to use many or few troops are victorious. Those whose upper and lower ranks have the same desire are victorious.

Sun Tzu
Image
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
Image
When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal.

Sun Tzu
Image
First learn to become invincible, then wait for your enemy's moment of vulnerability.
Sun Tzu
Image
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
Image
The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.
Sun Tzu
Image
If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near.
Sun Tzu
