"Therefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field. With his forces intact he will dispute the mastery of the Empire, and thus, without losing a man, his triumph will be complete. This is the method of attacking by stratagem."
- Master SUN TSU, “The Art of War” (6th century BC)
“If you know the enemy and know yourself,
you need not fear of a hundred battles.
If you know yourself but not your enemy,
for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself,
you will succumb in every battle…
The ideal warrior wins the war before the battle is ever fought”.
- Master SUN TSU, “The Art of War” (6th century BC)
