About This Quote
In his book, The Art of War, Sun Tzu said: “A weapon does not decide whether or not to kill. A weapon is a manifestation of a decision that has already been made.” He also said, “It is fatal to wait until you are strong enough to beat the enemy. Instead, begin by defeating your weaker opponent.” And he goes on to say, “A general who wins his battles but loses the war will come to be despised by both friend and foe.”
