excerpt from:

Sun Tzu: The Art Of War

I. Laying plans

verse 17: According as circumstances are favorable, one should modify one's plans.

verse 18: All warfare is based on deception.

verse 19: Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces,

we must seem 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.

III. Attack By Strategem

verse 2: …to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence, supreme

excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

verse 3: Thus the highest form of generalship is to balk the enemy's plans; the next

best is to prevent the junction of the enemy's forces; the next in order is to attack the

enemy's army in the field; and the worst policy of all is to besiege walled cities.
