Sun Tzu

Of old, the rise of the Yin dynasty was due to I Chich who had served under the Hsia. Likewise, the rise of the Chou dynasty was due to Lu Ya who had served under the Yin. Hence it is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for purposes of spying, and thereby they achieve great results.
Sun Tzu

Spies are a most important element in war, because on them depends an army's ability to move.
Sun Tzu

The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence, it is a subject of inquiry, which can on no account, be neglected by any one of us today ... and tomorrow.
Sun Tzu
