Sun Zi 
– The Art of War
Chinese strategy explained : know yourself and the ennemy, use deception, spies, and "win with ease". Tr. Giles (en, annotated) and Amiot (fr).
Waging War
Ts`ao Kung has the note: "He who wishes to fight must first count the cost," which prepares us for the discovery that the subject of the chapter is not what we might expect from the title, but is primarily a consideration of ways and means.
Sunzi II. 10.
In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.1
Thus it may be known that the leader of armies is the arbiter of the people's fate, the man on whom it depends whether the nation shall be in peace or in peril.
Giles II.19,20.
L'essentiel est dans la victoire et non dans les opérations prolongées. Le général qui s'entend dans l'art de la guerre est le ministre du destin du peuple et l'arbitre de la destinée de la victoire. Quels objets peuvent être plus dignes de votre attention et de tous vos efforts !
