China

Sun Tzu was an ancient Chinese military commander, operational scientist and scientist, who is believed to have written the famous ancient Chinese book on military strategy, "The Art of War". Through her history and influential "Art of War", Sun Tzu made a huge impact on the history and culture of China and Asia. The book gained great popularity during the 19th and 20th centuries when the Western Society saw its practical use. This work continues its impact on both Asian and Western political culture. The authenticity of Sun Tzu is still a question of debate, but the traditional Chinese accounts put him in the Picture and the Autumn Period of China (722-481 BC), where he was a military general working under King Helü of Wu. Based on the description of the war "Art of War" and the high similarity of text and other works from the time of the Civil War led modern scholars to put an end to "The Art of War" in the Warring States Period (476 –221 BC).

War
Fight

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Inspirational

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”

Inspirational

“Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.”

Fight

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

Believe

“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win”

“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. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .”
