More quotes by Sun Tzu
He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu
Know thy enemy and know thy self and you will win a hundred battles.
Sun Tzu
An army may be likened to water, for just as flowing water avoids the heights and hastens to the lowlands, so an army avoids strength and strikes weakness.
Sun Tzu
O divine art of subtlety and secrecy!
Sun Tzu
He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
Sun Tzu
Who does not know the evils of war cannot appreciate its benefits.
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
He must be able to mystify his officers and men by false reports and appearances, and thus keep them in total ignorance.
Sun Tzu
The height of strategy, is to attack your opponent's strategy.
Sun Tzu
When he utilizes combined energy, his fighting men become as it were like unto rolling logs or stones. For it is the nature of a log or stone to remain motionless on level ground, and to move when on a slope if four-cornered, to come to a standstill, but if round-shaped to go rolling down.
Sun Tzu
Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy. Do not interfere with an army that is returning home.
Sun Tzu
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle
Sun Tzu
Be where your enemy is not.
Sun Tzu
Winning isn't enough. The acme of all skill is to defeat your enemy before taking the field.
Sun Tzu
When the common soldiers are too strong and their officers too weak, the result is insubordination. When the officers are too strong and the common soldiers too weak, the result is collapse.
Sun Tzu
