Sun Tzu Quotes

Factors in the art of warfare are: First, calculations; second, quantities; third, logistics; fourth, the balance of power; and fifth, the possibility of victory is based on the balance of power Picture Quote #1

In warfare, there are no constant conditions. He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent will succeed and win Picture Quote #1

So the principles of warfare are: Do not depend on the enemy not coming, but depend on our readiness against him. Do not depend on the enemy not attacking, but depend on our position that cannot be attacked Picture Quote #1

In warfare, first lay plans which will ensure victory, and then lead your army to battle; if you will not begin with stratagem but rely on brute strength alone, victory will no longer be assured Picture Quote #1

To plan secretly, to move surreptitiously, to foil the enemy’s intentions and balk his schemes, so that at last the day may be won without shedding a drop of blood Picture Quote #1

The business of a general is to kick away the ladder behind soldiers when they have climbed up a height Picture Quote #1

When you know both yourself as well as your competition, you are never in danger. To know yourself and not others, gives you half a chance of winning. Knowing neither yourself or your competition puts you in a position to lose Picture Quote #1

All warfare is based on deception. There is no place where espionage is not used. Offer the enemy bait to lure him Picture Quote #1

The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities... It is best to win without fighting Picture Quote #1

Appraise war in terms of the fundamental factors. The first of these factors is moral influence Picture Quote #1

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat Picture Quote #1

The supreme excellence is not to win a hundred victories in a hundred battles. The supreme excellence is to subdue the armies of your enemies without having to fight them Picture Quote #1

If I wish to engage, then the enemy, for all his high ramparts and deep moat, cannot avoid engagement; I attack that which he is obliged to rescue Picture Quote #1

It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten to the enemy’s one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him; if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two Picture Quote #1

To conquer the enemy without resorting to war is the most desirable. The highest form of generalship is to conquer the enemy by strategy Picture Quote #1

In peace prepare for war, in war prepare for peace. The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence under no circumstances can it be neglected Picture Quote #1

So it is that good warriors take their stance on ground where they cannot lose, and do not overlook conditions that make an opponent prone to defeat 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

One need not destroy one’s enemy. One need only destroy his willingness to engage Picture Quote #1

This does not mean that the enemy is to be allowed to escape. The object is to make him believe that there is a road to safety, and thus prevent his fighting with the courage of despair. After that, you may crush him Picture Quote #1

Subtle and insubstantial, the expert leaves no trace; divinely mysterious, he is inaudible. Thus he is master of his enemy’s fate Picture Quote #1

If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, the general is to blame. But if his orders are clear, and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers Picture Quote #1

Bestow rewards without respect to customary practice; publish orders without respect to precedent. Thus you may employ the entire army as you would one man Picture Quote #1

To perceive victory when it is known to all is not really skilful... It does not take much strength to lift a hair, it does not take sharp eyes to see the sun and moon, it does not take sharp ears to hear the thunderclap Picture Quote #1

If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight, even though the ruler forbid it; if fighting will not result in victory, then you must not fight even at the ruler’s bidding Picture Quote #1

The art of giving orders is not to try to rectify the minor blunders and not be swayed by petty doubts Picture Quote #1

Too frequent rewards indicate that the general is at the end of his resources; too frequent punishments that he is in acute distress Picture Quote #1

What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease Picture Quote #1

When torrential water tosses boulders, it is because of its momentum. When the strike of a hawk breaks the body of its prey, it is because of timing Picture Quote #1

Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death Picture Quote #1
