All is fair in love and war

 

 

 

 

 

The Art of War is self-explanatory

 

 

who wishes to fight must first count the cost

 

 

 

 

There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged, positions which must not be contested, commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The King is only fond of words, and cannot translate them into deeds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bravery without forethought, causes a man to fight blindly and desperately like a mad bull.  Such an opponent, must not be encountered with brute force, but may be lured into an ambush and slain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you fight with all your might,  there is a chance of life; where as death is certain if you cling to your corner

 

What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.
