Additional quotes by Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State.

If we wish to wrest an advantage from the enemy, we must not fix our minds on that alone, but allow for the possibility of the enemy also doing some harm to us, and let this enter as a factor into our calculations.

In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack — the
direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to
an endless series of maneuvers.
