Cause He Knows Im Wasted Facing Time Again at Reikers Island

If y'all know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; ... if you do non know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Sun Tzu (孫子 Sūn Zǐ; c. 6th century BC) was a Chinese general, armed services strategist, and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China. Sunday Tzu is traditionally credited as the author of The Art of War, a widely influential work of military machine strategy that has affected both Western and East Asian philosophy and military thinking. He is too known as Sun Wu (孫武; Sūn Wǔ), and Chang Qing (長卿; Cháng Qīng).

The Art of War [edit]

All men can run across these tactics whereby I conquer, merely what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

Chapter titles from Chow-Hou Wee (2003)

Chapter 1 · Detail Cess and Planning [edit]

兵者，詭道也。故能而示之不能，用而示之不用，近而示之遠，遠而示之近，
- All warfare is based on charade. Hence, when we are able to attack, nosotros must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are about, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
- Variant translations
- A military functioning involves charade. Even though yous are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to exist ineffective.

實而備之，強而避之，怒而撓之，卑而驕之，佚而勞之，親而離之，出其不意，攻其不備。
- 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, dissever them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
- Note: "If his forces are united, separate them" is likewise interpreted: "If sovereign and subject are in accordance, put division between them."

亂而取之
- Concord out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and beat him.

卑則驕之
- Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.

孫子曰：國之上下，死生之地，存亡之道，不可不察也。

夫未戰而廟算勝者，得算多也；未戰而廟算不勝者，得算少也。
- The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple earlier the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.

將聽吾計，用之必勝，留之；將不聽吾計，用之必敗，去之；
- The full general that hearkens to my counsel and acts upon it, volition conquer: allow such a one be retained in command! The general that hearkens non to my counsel nor acts upon it, volition endure defeat: — let such a one be dismissed!

怒而撓之
- If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him.

Chapter Ii · Waging War [edit]

故兵貴勝，不貴久。

上兵伐謀
- What is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy'due south strategy.

知彼知己，百戰不殆；不知彼而知己，一勝一負；不知彼，不知己，每戰必殆
- Information technology is said that if y'all know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you exercise not know your enemies but exercise know yourself, you will win ane and lose ane; if you practice not know your enemies nor yourself, you volition be imperiled in every single battle.
- Variant translations
- If y'all know others and know yourself, you volition not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know others but know yourself, you win 1 and lose one; if you practise not know others and practise not know yourself, you lot will be imperiled in every single battle.
- Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself simply non your enemy, observe level of loss and victory. Know not thy enemy nor yourself, wallow in defeat every time.
- Literal translation: Know [the] other, know [the] self, hundred battles without danger; not knowing [the] other merely know [the] self, one win one loss; not knowing [the] other, not knowing [the] self, every battle must [exist] lost.

故用兵之法，十則圍之，五則攻之，倍則分之，敵則能戰之，少則能守之，不若則能避之。
- It is the rule in war, if x times the enemy's forcefulness, environs them; if five times, attack them; if double, exist able to dissever them; if equal, appoint them; if fewer, defend against them; if weaker, be able to avoid them.

是故百戰百勝，非善之善者也；不戰而屈人之兵，善之善者也。
- For to win one hundred victories in 1 hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
- Variant translations
- Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

凡用兵之法，全國爲上；破國次之；全軍爲上，破軍次之；全旅爲上，破旅次之；全卒爲上，破卒次之；全伍爲上，破伍次之。
- In the practical art of state of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's land whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is non so good. So, too, it is meliorate to recapture an ground forces entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a disengagement or a visitor unabridged than to destroy them.
- Variant translations
- It is best to proceed one's ain land intact; to trounce the enemy'south state is only second best.

是故上攻伐謀
- Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to set on the enemy's strategy.

Chapter Iv · Disposition of the Army [edit]

是故勝兵先勝而後求戰，敗兵先戰而後求勝。
- Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.
- Variant: Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist simply seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat kickoff fights and afterwards looks for victory.

見勝不過衆人之所識，非善之善者也。
- To see victory only when it is within the ken of the mutual herd is non the acme of excellence.

守則不足，攻則有餘
- One defends when his forcefulness is inadequate; he attacks when it is arable.

孫子曰：昔之善戰者，先爲不可勝，以待敵之可勝，不可勝在己，可勝在敵。故善戰者，能爲不可勝，不能使敵必可勝。故曰：勝可知，而不可爲。
- Sunzi said: The adept fighters of sometime first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. Thus the skillful fighter is able to secure himself against defeat, but cannot brand certain of defeating the enemy.
- Translation by Lionel Giles

Chapter 5 · Forces [edit]

治眾如治寡，分數是也。
- Direction of many is the same equally management of few. It is a matter of arrangement.

積水之激，至於漂石者，勢也。鷙鳥之疾，至於毀折者，節也。
- When torrential water tosses boulders, information technology is because of its momentum. When the strike of a militarist breaks the torso of its casualty, it is considering of timing.

故善戰者，求之於勢，不責於人。
- A skilled commander seeks victory from the situation and does not need information technology of his subordinates.
- Variant: The expert in battle seeks his victory from strategic advantage and does not demand it from his men.

Chapter VI · Weaknesses and Strengths [edit]

微乎微乎，至於無形；神乎神乎，至於無聲；故能為敵之司命。
- Be extremely subtle, fifty-fifty to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you tin can be the director of the opponent's fate.
- Alternative translation: Subtle and insubstantial, the expert leaves no trace; divinely mysterious, he is inaudible. Thus he is master of his enemy's fate.'
- Culling translation: O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you lot inaudible and hence nosotros can hold the enemy's fate in our hands.

人皆知我所以勝之形，而莫知吾所以制勝之形。
- All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can run across is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

故形兵之極，至於無形，無形，則深間不能窺，上智不能謀。
- The ultimate in disposing one's troops is to be without ascertainable shape. Then the most penetrating spies cannot pry in nor can the wise lay plans against you.

故善戰者，至人而不至於人。
- And therefore those skilled in war bring the enemy to the field of boxing and are not brought there by him.

故敵逸能勞之，飽能飢之，安能動之。出其所不趨，趨其所不意。
- When the enemy is at ease, exist able to weary him; when well fed, to starve him; when at rest, to make him move. Appear at places to which he must hasten; move swiftly where he does not expect you.

Water shapes its form according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing. Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, and so in warfare in that location are no constant weather condition. He who can alter his tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born captain.
- Lionel Giles translation

Chapter VII · Military Maneuvers [edit]

圍師必闕
- To a surrounded enemy, you must go out a way of escape.

故用兵之法，無恃其不來，恃吾有以待之；無恃其不攻，恃吾有所不可攻也。
- The art of war teaches united states of america to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his non attacking, merely rather on the fact that nosotros have made our position unassailable.
- Translation by Lionel Giles

Chapter 9 · Motility and Development of Troops [edit]

數賞者，窘也；數罰者，困也；
- Also frequent rewards point that the general is at the terminate of his resource; too frequent punishments that he is in acute distress.

In war, numbers solitary confer no advantage. Do not accelerate relying on sheer military power.

令素行以敎其民，則民服。令不素行以敎其民，則民不服。令素行者，與民相得也。
- A leader leads by example non by force.

Chapter X · Terrain [edit]

將弱不嚴，敎道不明，將之過也。
- If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, the general is to blame. Just if his orders are clear, and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers.

故戰道必勝，主曰無戰，必戰可也；戰道不勝，主曰必戰，無戰可也；
- If fighting is sure to event in victory, and then you must fight, fifty-fifty though the ruler foreclose it; if fighting volition not effect in victory, and so you must non fight even at the ruler's bidding.

- Speed is the essence of war. Take advantage of the enemy'due south unpreparedness; travel by unexpected routes and strike him where he has taken no precautions.

施無法之賞，懸無政之令。犯三軍之眾，若使一人。
- Bestow rewards without respect to customary practice; publish orders without respect to precedent. Thus you may apply the unabridged army as you would one human being.

Chapter XII · Attacking with Fire [edit]

非利不動，非得不用，非危不戰。主不可以怒而興師，將不可以慍而致戰；合于利而動，不合于利而止。怒可以復喜，慍可以復悅，亡國不可以復存，死者不可以復生。故明君慎之，良將警之，此安國全軍之道也。
- Move not unless y'all meet an advantage; use non your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical. No ruler should put troops into the field but to gratify his own spleen; no general should fight a battle simply out of pique. If information technology is to your advantage, make a forward motility; if non, stay where you are. Anger may in time alter to gladness; vexation may exist succeeded past content. But a kingdom that has in one case been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life. Hence the enlightened ruler is heedful, and the good general full of caution. This is the way to keep a country at peace and an regular army intact.
- Translation by Lionel Giles

Chapter XIII · Intelligence and Espionage [edit]

敵間之來間我者，因而利之，導而捨之，故反間可得而用也；
- Information technology is essential to seek out enemy agents who have come up to behave espionage against you and to bribe them to serve you lot. Requite them instructions and care for them. Thus doubled agents are recruited and used.

故明君賢將，所以動而勝人，成功出於衆者，先知也。
- Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge.

故三軍之事，莫親於間，賞莫厚於間，事莫密於間
- Of all those in the ground forces close to the commander none is more intimate than the hole-and-corner agent; of all rewards none more liberal than those given to secret agents; of all matters none is more than confidential than those relating to undercover operations.

此（譯注：用間）兵之要，三軍之所恃而動也。
- Underground operations are essential in war; upon them the ground forces relies to make its every motion.

Disputed [edit]

Build your opponent a gilded span to retreat across.
- This has appeared as a variant of Sunday Tzu'due south assertion to "exit a way of escape." Tu Mu, commenting on Sun Tzu, advises, "Show him in that location is a road to rubber..." Ch. 7; it has also recently appeared on the net attributed to Scipio Africanus, but without commendation.

Appoint people with what they wait; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. Information technology settles them into anticipated patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.

Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay its price.
- Attributed to Sun Tzu in multiple books and internet sites, simply this text does non appear in The Fine art of War and seems to be a more recent cosmos.

Misattributed [edit]

Keep your friends shut, and your enemies closer.
- This has oft been attributed to Sun Tzu and sometimes to Petrarch. It comes most directly from a line spoken by Michael Corleone in The Godfather Office Two (1974), written by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola:
  - My begetter taught me many things here. He taught me in this room. He taught me: keep your friends shut but your enemies closer.
- Niccolò Machiavelli, who is also sometimes credited, wrote on the subject in The Prince:
  - It is easier for the prince to brand friends of those men who were contented under the former regime, and are therefore his enemies, than of those who, being discontented with it, were favourable to him and encouraged him to seize it.
- In that location are also some attributions of a relatable comment to Genghis Khan:
  - To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.
    - This is sometimes attributed to Sun Tzu in combination with the in a higher place quote, as well equally solitary, but it likewise has non been sourced to any published translation of The Art of War, though it is similar in concept to his famous statement in Ch. 3 : "It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles..."

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the dissonance before defeat.
- Probably apocryphal. This quotation does not appear in any impress translation of Sun Tzu. The first citation in Google Books is from 2002; no commendation in Google Books occurs in a translation of Lord's day Tzu.

The true objective of war is peace.
- This attributed to Sun Tzu and his book The Art of War. Actually James Clavell'southward foreword in The Fine art of State of war states, "'the true object of war is peace.'" Therefore the quote is stated past James Clavell, but the true origin of Clavell's quotation is unclear. Nonetheless the essence of the quote, that a long state of war exhausts a state and therefore ultimately seeking peace is in the interest of the warring state, is true, every bit Dominicus Tzu in Chapter 2 Waging Wars says that "At that place is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. It is merely one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of state of war that tin can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on." This has been interpreted past Lionel Giles every bit "Only 1 who knows the disastrous effects of a long war tin realize the supreme importance of rapidity in bringing it to a shut."
- Dr. Hiroshi Hatanaka, President of Kobe College, Nishinomiya, Hyōgo, Japan is recorded as saying "the existent objective of war is peace" in Pacific Stars and Stripes Ryukyu Edition, Tokyo, Japan (10 Feb 1949), Page 2, Cavalcade 2.

Opportunities multiply equally they are seized.
- Sun Tzu among many other armed services thinkers and leaders believed in fate and conclusion from the correct awarding of theory, the state of the opponent's and i's own power, and a code for the full general and a code for the soldier to follow, rather than the Machiavellian type of intuition that evokes an evolution of opportunism that brought great historical consequences as it dominated over the classical and medieval ethical doctrines. Thus this statement is opposite to Sun Tzu principles. Even so, at that place is a possible relation to the quote: Quickness is the essence of the war.

In peace, gear up for war. In war, fix for peace.
- Sometimes erroneously prepended to the opening line "The art of state of war is of vital importance to the Country", merely appears to be a variation of the Roman motto "Si vis pacem, para bellum". Information technology's not clear who first misattributed this phrase to Dominicus Tzu. The earliest appearance of the phrase in Google Books is 1920, when it appeared in a pharmaceutical journal, merely no attribution was given then.

Fear is the true enemy, the merely enemy.
- Attributed implicitly to Sun Tzu by "William Riker" in the episode The Last Outpost of the Television receiver program Star Trek: The Next Generation, but no source for this quote predates the episode'south airing in 1987.

Quotes most Lord's day Tzu [edit]

吳王曰：「將軍罷休就舍，寡人不願下觀。」孫子曰：「王徒好其言，不能用其實。」於是闔廬知孫子能用兵，卒以為將。西破彊楚，入郢，北威齊晉，顯名諸侯，孫子與有力焉。
- The King of Wu said，"Enough, general. Retire to your hostel, We do not wish to come down and observe." Sun Tzu said, "The male monarch only loves the words, he cannot make use of the reality." Afterwards this, Ho-lu knew that Sun Tzu could command troops and in the end appointed him commander. [Later when Wu] defeated mighty Ch'u to its west and entered its capital Ying awed Ch'i and Mentum to its north and spread its fame among the feudal lords, information technology was due in role to Sun Tzu.

- Sima Qian, Records of the Grand Historian, 孫子吳起列傳

諸將效首虜，（休）畢賀，因問信曰：「兵法右倍山陵，前左水澤，今者將軍令臣等反背水陳，曰破趙會食，臣等不服。然竟以勝，此何術也？」信曰：「此在兵法，顧諸君不察耳。兵法不曰『陷之死地而後生，置之亡地而後存』？且信非得素拊循士大夫也，此所謂『驅市人而戰之』，其勢非置之死地，使人人自為戰；今予之生地，皆走，寧尚可得而用之乎！」諸將皆服曰：「善。非臣所及也。」
- Subsequently the various commanders presented the heads [of the enemies] and the captives, they all offered their congratulations. They took the advantage to ask [Han] Hsin and said, "The Art of War says 'keep the hills to your right and your dorsum; keep the waters to the forepart or at your left.'' Now you, Full general, on the opposite ordered your subjects to draw up in assortment with our backs confronting the river and said, 'We will defeat Chao and feast together.' Your servants were not convinced. However, we won with this in the end. What strategy was this?" [Han] Hsin said, "This is in The Art of War, still, yous gentlemen did non notice information technology. Doesn't The Art of War say 'They will survive subsequently being trapped in a fatal situation and will live on after being placed in a hopeless position? Furthermore, I do not take well-trained officers. This is what is called 'Drive the street rabble and have them fight.' The circumstances were that I had to put them in a fatal situation and fabricated every person fight for his life. If I had put them in a rubber situation, they would accept had already run away. How could they have been held and employed?" The various commanders were all convinced and said, "Well put. It is of [a level] that nosotros could not attain."
  - translation past ‎Wang Jing, in The Yard Scribe'south Records, edited by William H. Nienhauser, Jr.
- On Boxing of Jingxing
- Sima Qian, Records of the One thousand Historian, 淮陰侯列傳

Sunday Tzu's success teaches u.s.a. that a successful full general is 1 who fully calculates his approach and plans to fight in a boxing. Even so, the average reader is not able to identify Sun Tzu'due south teachings on a deeper or philosophical level. This is my reason for writing and exegeses on the Art of War.
- Cao Cao, 《孫子略解》 Concise Explanations of Sun Tzu

The ane thing missing from The Art of War is dear, ... any sense of altruism, whatsoever sense of loving your neighbor. It's simply a[bout] how to take reward of your neighbor, how to triumph over your neighbor, how to dispense your neighbor. I'thousand distressing... It'due south a very nasty book. How to use your spies — that chapter thirteen on spies — is chilling. The whole volume — of course information technology's very clever, and of course a lot of it is very true, and of class we can go through life treating people in that style if you want to, simply I don't happen to believe that's the all-time way to go. ... The Lúnyǔ [Analects of Confucius] is a superior volume to Sūnzi bīngfǎ [The Fine art of State of war] because the Lúnyǔ talks about morality, talks about caring for your beau man being; after all, the whole idea of ren ... doesn't come in Sūnzi bīngfǎ at all. Sūnzi bīngfǎ is: how to utilize your friends and neighbors in society to get the ameliorate of them. That doesn't make me feel good. I'm an one-time-fashioned kind of guy, and I believe in existence nice to people whenever I can. ... You don't go out of your way like Sun Tzu to dispense everybody including your friends. For me, Sūnzi bīngfǎ is the dark side of Chinese culture. Information technology's the nighttime side. And, I know information technology's there. And at that place's a dark side to Western culture too. And, therefore, it's important to be aware of information technology, but not to be corrupted by it. Non to be polluted by it. Because it is a very powerfully-polluting little book. Very nasty little book. Permit's not pretend otherwise.
