Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu (Chinese strategist and philosopher, 6th-5th Century BCE)

"Be rushing as a wind;
      Be stately as a forest;
Be ravaging as a fire;
      Be still as a mountain.
Be inscrutable as night;
      Be swift as thunder or lightning."

• From Sun Tzu's The Art of War (Chapter 7), translated by John Minford (Penguin Classics, 2009).
