The value of time, that is of being a little ahead of your opponent, often provides greater advantage than superior numbers or greater resources Picture Quote #1

In the midst of difficulties we are always ready to seize an advantage, we may extricate ourselves from misfortune Picture Quote #1

If those who are sent to draw water begin by drinking themselves, the army is suffering from thirst Picture Quote #1

And regulation entails organizational effectiveness, a chain of command, and a structure for logistical support Picture Quote #1

Act after having made assessments. The one who first knows the measure of far and near wins - this is the rule of armed struggle Picture Quote #1

In your deliberations, when seeking to determine the military conditions, let them be made the basis of a comparison, in this wise: which of the two generals has the most ability? on which side is Discipline most rigorously enforced? which army is stronger? on which side are the officers and men more highly trained? in which army is there the greater constancy both in reward and punishment? Picture Quote #1

Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment - that which they cannot anticipate Picture Quote #1

Know yourself and you will win all battles. Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain Picture Quote #1

Swift as the wind. Quiet as the forest. Conquer like the fire. Steady as the mountain Picture Quote #1

In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Don’t flail against the world, use it. Flexibility is the operative principle in the art of war Picture Quote #1

Victory usually goes to the army who has better trained officers and men Picture Quote #1

O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible and hence we can hold the enemy’s fate in our hands Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

He who wishes to fight must first count the cost. When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men’s weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be dampened. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength Picture Quote #1

The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat, but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy Picture Quote #1

In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory Picture Quote #1

Thus those skilled in war subdue the enemy’s army without battle .... They conquer by strategy Picture Quote #1

Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; and hence we can hold the enemy’s fate in our hands Picture Quote #1

Be stern in the council-chamber, [Show no weakness, and insist on your plans being ratified by the sovereign.] so that you may control the situation Picture Quote #1

There are not more than five primary colors (blue, yellow, red, white, and black), yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen Picture Quote #1

When you shoot a bow and arrow, you aim at the clouds, not because you expect to hit them, but so that you may reach the distant target on the ground Picture Quote #1

When your army has crossed the border, you should burn your boats and bridges, in order to make it clear to everybody that you have no hankering after home Picture Quote #1
