Sun Tzu

Ground on which we can only be saved from destruction by fighting without delay, is desperate ground.

Sun Tzu

Ground which can be abandoned but is hard to re-occupy is called entangling.

Sun Tzu

Ground which can be freely traversed by both sides is called accessible.

Sun Tzu

He who is not sage and wise, humane and just, cannot use secret agents. And he who is not delicate and subtle cannot get the truth out of them.

Sun Tzu

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

Sun Tzu

He who knows his enemy and himself well will not be defeated easily.

Sun Tzu

He who knows things, and in fighting puts his knowledge into practice, will win his battles. He who knows them not, nor practices them, will surely be defeated.

Sun Tzu

He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.

Sun Tzu

He who wishes to fight must first count the cost. When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men’s weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be dampened. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength.

Sun Tzu

He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
