Sun TzuThe Commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage and strictness.Sun TzuBy Method and discipline are to be understood the marshalling of the army in its proper subdivisions, the gradations of rank among the officers, the maintenance of roads by which supplies may reach the army, and the control of military expenditure.Sun TzuNow the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought.Sun TzuThe general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand.Sun TzuThus it may be known that the leader of armies is the arbiter of the people’s fate, the man on whom it depends whether the nation shall be in peace or in peril.Sun Tzu
