Wisdom Quotes

"The greatest victory is that which requires no battle."

- Sun Tzu

"If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.

Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected ."
