Sun Tzu Quotes

So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak Picture Quote #1

When strong, avoid them. If of high morale, depress them. Seem humble to fill them with conceit. If at ease, exhaust them. If united, separate them. Attack their weaknesses. Emerge to their surprise Picture Quote #1

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near Picture Quote #1

Thus, though I have heard of successful military operations that were clumsy but swift, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays Picture Quote #1

Unless you know the mountains and the forests, the defiles and impasses, the lay of the marshes and swamps, you cannot maneuver with an armed force. Unless you use local guides, you cannot get the advantages of the land Picture Quote #1

So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing Picture Quote #1

One who sets the entire army in motion to chase an advantage will not attain it Picture Quote #1

It is a doctrine of war not to assume the enemy will not come, but rather to rely on one’s readiness to meet him; not to presume that he will not attack, but rather to make one’s self invincible Picture Quote #1

If not in the interests of the state, do not act. If you cannot succeed, do not use troops. If you are not in danger, do not fight Picture Quote #1

Know the enemy, know yourself; your victory will never be endangered. Know the ground, know the weather; your victory will then be total Picture Quote #1

When orders are consistently trustworthy and observed, the relationship of a commander with his troops is satisfactory Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more difficult than the art of maneuver. What is difficult about maneuver is to make the devious route the most direct and to turn misfortune to advantage Picture Quote #1

One who has few must prepare against the enemy; one who has many makes the enemy prepare against him Picture Quote #1

When campaigning, be swift as the wind; in leisurely march, majestic as the forest; in raiding and plundering, like fire; in standing, firm as the mountains. As unfathomable as the clouds, move like a thunderbolt Picture Quote #1

Birds rising in flight is a sign that the enemy is lying in ambush; when the wild animals are startled and flee he is trying to take you unaware Picture Quote #1

When I have won a victory I do not repeat my tactics but respond to circumstances in an infinite variety of ways Picture Quote #1

As water shapes its flow in accordance with the ground, so an army manages its victory in accordance with the situation of the enemy Picture Quote #1

Generally in war the best policy is to take a state intact; to ruin it is inferior to this Picture Quote #1

Do not engage an enemy more powerful than you. And if it is unavoidable and you do have to engage, then make sure you engage it on your terms, not on your enemy’s terms Picture Quote #1

It is the rule in war, if ten times the enemy’s strength, surround them; if five times, attack them; if double, be able to divide them; if equal, engage them; if fewer, be able to evade them; if weaker, be able to avoid them Picture Quote #1
