The art of war is the art of deception.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

Victory comes from finding opportunities in problems.

It is more important to outhink your enemy, than to outfight him

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.

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

Those who are victorious plan effectively and change decisively. They are like a great river that maintains its course but adjusts its flow.

Swift as the wind. Quiet as the forest. Conquer like the fire. Steady as the mountain

A leader leads by example not by force.

I have had the occasion to meet child actors from the '60s and '70s at various functions, and everyone's gone on to various different lives - they're real-estate agents or surfers.
