Additional quotes by Sun Tzu

Neither is it the acme of excellence if you fight and conquer and the whole Empire says, “Well done!

Therefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.

All men can see the tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.
