Additional quotes by Sun Tzu

Supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy’s strategy.

One mark of a great soldier is that he fight on his own terms or fights not at all.

The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.

The best military policy is to attack strategies; the next to attack alliances; the next to attack soldiers. - Sun Tzu
