Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu (sayings recorded from 6th-3rd centuries BCE)

"The Skillful Strategist
     Defeats the enemy
     Without doing battle,
     Captures the city
     Without laying siege,
     Overthrows the enemy state
     Without protracted war."

• From Sun Tzu's The Art of War (Chapter Three), translated by John Minford (Penguin Classics edition).
