There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare. – Sun Tzu
If we know that our own men are in a condition to attack, but are unaware that the enemy is not open to attack, we have gone only halfway towards victory. – Sun Tzu
In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemys country whole and intact to shatter and destroy it is not so good. – Sun Tzu
