Sun Tzu (sayings recorded between the 6th and 3rd centuries BCE)
” In War,
Numbers
Are not the issue.
It is a question of
Not attacking
Too agressively.
Concentrate your strength,
Assess your enemy,
And win the confidence of your men:
That is enough.”
- Sun Tzu’s The Art of War (Chapter nine), translated by John Minford (Penguin Classics edition, 2009).
