Sun Tzu

• Known for The Art of War , one of the most influential military treatises of all time.

In his text he uses a series of sentences that are meant to be read and thought about individually,

however they all fit together and feed off one another and produce a modern view of warfare.

•“Generally in War the best policy is to take a state intact; to ruin it is inferior to this.”  

• “He who knows he can fight and when he cannot will be victorious”.  

• “Know thy enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never peril”  

• “if the army is confused and suspicious, neighboring rulers will cause trouble. (“A confused

army leads to victory.”)
