In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.
It is more important to outhink your enemy, than to outfight him
Victory comes from finding opportunities in problems.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
The opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
If you are strong, appear weak. But if you are weak, appear strong.
If a battle can not be won do not fight it.
Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay its price.
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
In warfare, there are no constant conditions. He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent will succeed and win.
Great results, can be achieved with small forces.
Those who are victorious plan effectively and change decisively. They are like a great river that maintains its course but adjusts its flow.
There is an intelligent way to eat a live frog - I just don't know what it is.
Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
In all history, there is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. Only one who knows the disastrous effects of a long war can realize the supreme importance of rapidity in bringing it to a close.
One need not destroy one's enemy. One need only destroy his willingness to engage.
A leader leads by example not by force.
Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.
The Art of War is self-explanatory
Plan for what is difficult while it is easy, do what is great while it is small.
All warfare is based on deception. Therefore, when capable, feign incapacity; when active, inactivity. When near, make it appear that you are far away; when far away, that you are to lure him; feign disorder and strike him. When he concentrates, prepare against him; where he is strong, avoid him. Anger his general and confuse him. Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.
To ... not prepare is the greatest of crimes; to be prepared beforehand for any contingency is the greatest of virtues.
The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.
If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is tempermental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
