Art of War

Five edicts from Sun Tzu's Art of War

1. He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponents and thereby succeed in winning may be called a heaven-borne captain
2. There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare
3. Know thyself - know thy enemy
4. A clever fighter is one who not only wins, but one that excels in winning with ease
5. In battle, there are not more than 2 methods of attack - direct and indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to endless series of manoeuvres.
