The Art of War by Sun-Tzu


(4) Command is Wisdom, Integrity, Compassion, Courage, Severity.
(4) Discipline is Organisation, Chain of Command, Control of expenditure.
(6) Follow the advantage, And master opportunity; This is the dynamic.
(6) When able, Feign inability.
(7) Strike with chaos.
(10) Haste can be Folly
            But have never seen
            Delay that was
            Wise.
(14) Earth determines
            Measurement;
            Measurement determines
            Estimation;
            Estimation determines
            Calculation;
            Calculation determines
            Comparison;
            Comparison determines
            Victory.
(15) Managing many
            Is the same as
            Managing few;
            It is a question of
            Division.
(38) Water shapes its current
            From the lie of the land.
            The warrior shapes his victory
            From the dynamic of the enemy.
(43) With the army focused,
            The brave will not
            Advance alone,
            Nor will the fearful
            Retreat alone.
