Additional quotes by Sun Tzu

One need not destroy one's enemy. One need only destroy his willingness to engage.

A leader leads by example not by force.

When strong, appear weak. Brave, appear fearful. Orderly, appear chaotic. Full, appear empty. Wise, appear foolish. Many, appear to be few. Advancing, appear to retreat. Moving quickly, appear to be slow. Taking, appear to leave. In one place, appear to be in another.
