Sun Tzu's famous quotes

*This page includes modern Japanese translations of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Waging war carries the risk of national destruction, so it must be considered very carefully.
The goal of war is victory, but a prolonged conflict must be avoided.
The best course of action is to force the opponent to surrender without harming them; defeating them and forcing them to surrender is the second best course of action.
Even if you win 100 matches without fail, that's not a good thing; the best thing is for your opponent to surrender without a fight.
A skilled general will strive to procure food from enemy territory whenever possible.
War is an act of deceiving the enemy.
Momentum is about recognizing the advantageous situation at any given time and responding flexibly.
When planning a strategy, it's important to take advantage of natural timing, such as changes in weather and temperature.
As a general principle of warfare, the best strategy is to force the enemy country to surrender without inflicting any damage, while defeating and subduing the enemy country is considered inferior.
If you understand your opponent's situation and correctly understand your own situation, you won't be in danger even if you fight 100 times.
A skilled strategist first strengthens their own defenses, eliminating any possibility of the enemy winning, and then waits for an opportunity for the enemy to expose their weaknesses.
The victorious army fights only after victory is certain.
A losing army pursues victory only after the battle has begun.
Those who fight skillfully seek victory not through the individual qualities of their soldiers, but through the momentum they generate when entering battle.
Those who fight skillfully can manipulate the enemy army as they please, but they themselves are never manipulated by the enemy.
Treat your soldiers as if they were your own children.
In war, the momentum of an advance depends heavily on the timing.
A great general fights and wins against opponents who are easy to defeat. That's why great generals don't become famous or praised even when they win.
A ruler should not raise an army in a fit of rage, nor should a general start a battle in a fit of indignation.
The most excellent form of military force is formless.
Taking a roundabout route can lead to going straight ahead, and incurring a loss can lead to gain.
If you carefully assess your chances of winning, you will win. If you carelessly assess your chances of winning, you will lose. Stop acting haphazardly.
They pretend they can't do something they can. They pretend they don't use something they do. In this world, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, so the more talented a person is, the less they flaunt their abilities.
Attack the enemy when they are vulnerable and catch them off guard. Surprise them is the key to victory.
They do not seek honor even in the face of success, nor do they shirk responsibility even in the face of failure.
Even soldiers from the opposing states of Wu and Yue, if they were on the same ship and it was in danger of capsizing, would surely help each other and protect the ship.
A leader must always be calm, composed, and fair; otherwise, they cannot unite an organization.
Intelligence agents who risk their lives infiltrating enemy territory for their country should be rewarded with adequate compensation and status.
War is a matter of life and death, so it's not good to start it out of temporary anger. We should think logically and decide whether or not to go to war.
