Text Quotes
Where the army is, prices are high; when prices rise the wealth of the people is exhausted  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Therefore a victorious army first wins and then seeks battle; a defeated army first battles and then seeks victory  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Against those skilled in attack, an enemy does not know where to defend; against the experts in defense, the enemy does not know where to attack  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Use humility to make the enemy haughty. Tire them by flight. Cause division among them. When they are unprepared, attack and make your move when they do not expect it  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Unhappy is the fate of one who tries to win his battles and succeed in his attacks without cultivating the spirit of enterprise, for the result is waste of time and general stagnation  (Sun Tzu Quotes) A kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life  (Sun Tzu Quotes) According to my assessment, even if you have many more troops than others, how can that help you to victory?  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Energy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow; decision, to the releasing of a trigger  (Sun Tzu Quotes) If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat  (Sun Tzu Quotes) It is imperative to contest all factions for complete victory, so the army is not garrisoned and the profit can be total. This is the law of strategic siege  (Sun Tzu Quotes) It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of war that can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Order or disorder depends on organisation; courage or cowardice on circumstances; strength or weakness on dispositions  (Sun Tzu Quotes) The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy’s not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable  (Sun Tzu Quotes) The control of a large force is the same principle as the control of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers  (Sun Tzu Quotes) The end and aim of spying in all its five varieties is knowledge of the enemy; and this knowledge can only be derived, in the first instance, from the converted spy. Hence it is essential that the converted spy be treated with the utmost liberality  (Sun Tzu Quotes) The one who figures on victory at headquarters before even doing battle is the one who has the most strategic factors on his side  (Sun Tzu Quotes) There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged, positions which must not be contested, commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Those skilled at making the enemy move do so by creating a situation to which he must conform; they entice him with something he is certain to take, and with lures of ostensible profit they await him in strength  (Sun Tzu Quotes) To perceive victory when it is known to all is not really skilful. Everyone calls victory in battle good, but it is not really good  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting  (Sun Tzu Quotes) The ultimate in disposing one’s troops is to be without ascertainable shape. Then the most penetrating spies cannot pry in nor can the wise lay plans against you  (Sun Tzu Quotes) When the enemy is at ease, be able to weary him; when well fed, to starve him; when at rest, to make him move. Appear at places to which he must hasten; move swiftly where he does not expect you  (Sun Tzu Quotes) If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent the enemy from engaging us even though the lines of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground. All we need to do is to throw something odd and unaccountable in his way  (Sun Tzu Quotes) And therefore those skilled in war bring the enemy to the field of battle and are not brought there by him  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Bring war material with you from home, but forage on the enemy... use the conquered foe to augment one’s own strength  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Thus the highest form of generalship is to balk the enemy’s plans, the next best is to prevent the junction of the enemy’s forces, the next in order is to attack the enemy’s army in the field, and the worst policy of all is to besiege walled cities  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated  (Sun Tzu Quotes) Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted  (Sun Tzu Quotes) The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy’s will to be imposed on him  (Sun Tzu Quotes)
