Sun Tzu Quotes:

Life: 544 BC - 496 BC
Birthday: 544 BC
Death: 496 BC
A clever general... avoids an army when its spirit is keen, but attacks it when it is sluggish and inclined to return. This is the art of studying moods. Disciplined and calm, he awaits the appearance of disorder and hubbub among the enemy. This is the art of retaining self-possession.
