Sun TzuThinkers

Attack is the secret of defense... defense is the planning of an attack.

Deception is the essence of warfare. If your enemy is superior, evade him. If angry, irritate him. If equally matched, fight and if not: Split and re-evaluate.

Defeat is due to to one of the following: Neglecting to estimate the enemy's strength... wanting in authority... defective training... unjustifiable anger... nonobservance of discipline or failure to use picked men.

Defense is that wherein invincibility lies... the possibility of victory is in the attack.

Defense is the planning of an attack, just as attack is the secret of defense.

Excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting.

Leadership is able to wreck the soundest strategy if it's weak.

Logistics is that wherein lies the line between disorder and order.

Preemption is a method we can use create to read the enemy by agitating them and then ascertaining the pattern of their movement.

Preemption is a method of probing the enemy to learn where his strength is abundant and where deficient.

Strategy's height is to attack one's opponent's strategy.

Strategy is the slowest route to victory when it is without tactics.

Tactics is the noise before defeat when it is without strategy.
