Sun Tzu

Chinese Military Strategist

Sun Tzu was a Chinese military general, strategist, philosopher, and writer who lived during the Eastern Zhou period.

He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.
There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
You have to believe in yourself.
Quickness is the essence of the war.
Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.
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.
There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited.
He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.
Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.
