i love 'art of war' by Sun tzu and recently i i have discovered that tigsource is teeming with a great number Sun Tzu adherents so now I make a thread so that we can all post our favourite sun tzu quotes.

"Ultimate excellence lies
Not in winning
Every battle
But in defeating the enemy
Without ever fighting"

"There are but
Five flavors,
And yet their permutations
Are more
Then can ever be tasted"
(This one is about ice cream)

"When near,
Appear far;

When far,
Appear near."

"I have heard that in war
Haste can be
Folly
But have never seen
Delay that was
Wise."

ever since i was a child my mother would read me sun tzu's art of war as i fall asleep. the beauty of sun tzu you can apply him to any situation for instant gratification, for instance when my sister annoy me i unleash "There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare. " and she feels shameful.

Sometimes I feel like all Tigsource is made of sockpuppet joke accounts
The question being : where are the originals?

I prefer Musashi's quotes.

Although you can relate inductively relate sun tzu's quotes to your personal life, Musashi directly speaks about the individual. It's awesome.
(Book of Five Rings)

But whatever, right?

You should all know that Musashi learned from Super Joe.
Therefore Musashi's word is law.
