Sun Tzu

To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

There are armies not to be attacked; there are grounds not to be penetrated; there are commands not to be obeyed. #opd #occupyoakland

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

One who does not know the mountains and forests, gorges and defiles, swamps and wetlands cannot advance the army.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

If you want to attack an army, you must know the identities of the defending generals, assistants, associates, gate guards, and officers.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

If one gains victory in battle, but does not exploit those achievements, it is disastrous. This is called waste and delay.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

He who is cowardly can be captured. He who is quick tempered can be insulted. He who is moral can be shamed.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

If it is advantageous, move; if it is not advantageous, stop.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

The essential factor in warfare is speed.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

Do not camp on difficult ground. Unite with your allies on intersecting ground.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

Do not depend on the enemy not coming, but depend on our readiness against him.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

When the men are united, the brave cannot advance alone, the cowardly cannot retreat alone.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

When you plunder the countryside, divide the wealth among your troops.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

Calculate the situation, and then move.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

Those who are able to adapt and change in accord with the enemy and achieve victory are called divine.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

The place of battle must not be made known to the enemy. If it is not known, then the enemy must prepare to defend many places.

[Sun Tzu @SunTzu]

When doing battle, seek a quick victory. A protracted battle will blunt weapons and dampen ardor.
