If you fight with all your might, there is a chance of life; where as death is certain if you cling to your corner.
SUN TZUIf you fight with all your might, there is a chance of life; where as death is certain if you cling to your corner.
SUN TZUPlan for what it is difficult while it is easy, do what is great while it is small.
SUN TZUEvery battle is won before it’s ever fought.
SUN TZUNever venture, never win!
SUN TZUThere are not more than five cardinal tastes, yet combinations of them yield more flavours than can ever be tasted.
SUN TZUBe extremely subtle even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent’s fate.
SUN TZUThe spot where we intend to fight must not be made known; for then the enemy will have to prepare against a possible attack at several different points.
SUN TZUBut a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.
SUN TZUDisorder came from order, fear came from courage, weakness came from strength.
SUN TZUAnger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.
SUN TZUPonder and deliberate before you make a move.
SUN TZUIf you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
SUN TZUAll warfare is based on deception.
SUN TZUThose 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 TZUConform to the enemy’s tactics until a favorable opportunity offers; then come forth and engage in a battle that shall prove decisive.
SUN TZUUltimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting.
