The Art of War

Sun Tzu

Created around 500 BC in ancient China, The Art Of War has been the definitive work on military strategy. This work has influenced businesses, athletes, and, of course, military leaders instructing on how to defeat their foes and adversaries. Perhaps the most significant idea that “The Art of War” is making is that knowledge counts, and an informed guess is better than a gut decision. Sun Tzu suggested that military commanders should be skilled at carefully considering everything that could influence a battle outcome.

Quotes from this book on how to become a better man:

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.
Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley.
