#SunTzu（孫子） #Quotes

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

(チャンスは、掴めば掴むほど増えていく。)

#SunTzu（孫子） #Quotes

We may take it that an army without its baggage-train is lost; without provisions it is lost; without bases of supply it is lost.

When you plunder a countryside, let the spoil be divided amongst your men; when you capture new territory, cut it up into allotments for the benefit of the soldiery.

There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare. ~ #SunTzu #quotes #war #warfare

Forestall your opponent by seizing what he holds dear, and subtly contrive to time his arrival on the ground.

#Quotes #War #Tactics #Strategy #ArtOfWar #SunTzu

In dry, level country, take up an easily accessible position with rising ground to your right and on your rear, so that the danger may be in front, and safety lie behind. So much for campaigning in flat country.

#Quotes #War #Tactics #Strategy #ArtOfWar #SunTzu

All men can see the tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

#Quotes #War #Tactics #Strategy #ArtOfWar #SunTzu

He will conquer who has learnt the artifice of deviation. Such is the art of maneuvering.

Because our obsession with #personalityCults & #PopularityContests is missing the fucking obvious…

The five elements (water, fire, wood, metal, earth) are not always equally predominant; the four seasons make way for each other in turn. There are short days and long; the moon has its periods of waning and waxing.

Poverty of the State exchequer causes an army to be maintained by contributions from a distance. Contributing to maintain an army at a distance causes the people to be impoverished.

If the enemy is taking his ease, the clever combatant can harass him; if well supplied with food, he can starve him out; if quietly encamped, he can force him to move.

#Quotes #War #Tactics #Strategy #ArtOfWar #SunTzu

Reduce the hostile chiefs by inflicting damage on them; and make trouble for them, and keep them constantly engaged; hold out specious allurements, and make them rush to any given point.

anyone who has read their #SunTzu could predict the #GOP would go after #Mail-InBallots
Why?
I know I predicted it to people for several #elections & shocked it hadn’t already been on the #corruption menu
It’s THE MOST CONSISTENT smug #polling #failover that #Democrats tout as “don’t worry because!”

The end and aim of spying is knowledge of the enemy; and this knowledge can only be derived, in the first instance, from the converted spy. Hence it is essential that the converted spy be treated with the utmost liberality.
