"Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can"
Sun Tzu on the importance of preparation...

 

The victorious army

Is victorious first

And seeks battle later

The defeated army

Does battle first

And seeks victory later

 

Ultimate excellence lies

Not in winning

Every battle

But in defeating the enemy

Without ever fighting.

The highest form of warfare

is to attack (the enemy's)

Strategy itself;

The next,

To attack (his)

Alliances.

The next,

To Attack

Armies;

The lowest formof war is

To attack

Cities.

Siege warfare

Is the last resort...

The Skillful Strategist

Defeats the enemy

Without doing battle,

Captures the city

Without laying siege,

Overthrows the enemy state

Without protracted war.
