Additional quotes by Sun Tzu

In making tactical dispositions, the highest pitch you can attain is to conceal them

Asked if an army can be made to imitate the SHUAI-JAN, I should answer, Yes. For the men of Wu and the men of Yueh are enemies; yet if they are crossing a river in the same boat and are caught by a storm, they will come to each other's assistance just as the left hand helps the right.

In a similar way, The Art of War pinpoints anger and greed as fundamental causes of defeat.
