Art of War - 1.18-19
All warfare is based on deception.
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.
A great book...thanks for posting this.
I will be posting more passages daily that I found a lot of meaning in! that and thoughts/recent-events on cryptos!
Thank you. It is a very powerful book and the writings have changed the course of events throughout history. There is a reason it has such lasting power.
The same principles apply today! Once I've gone through my favourite passages from AoW (i have a looooot) I will be moving onto The Prince by Nicolo Machiavelli
You certainly like the classics it seems.
That I do! I also have Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace which I am looking forward to reading after a re-read of The Prince :D
The Prince is a mouthful. That is one certainly I had to take piece mail.
Of course the AOW is the same way.
