 Sun Tzu - The Art of War -- War College
Every so often i'll place a quote in here and someone explain to me why thats a good idea or what depth does it have to the battle field or everyday life battles.
First  one of my favorites:
"Let your rapidity be that of the wind,
your compactness that of the forest."

and in my opinion that quote is saying (during battles) be one with the elements surrounding the field.

Ok move like the wind: manuever quickly and be out of nowhere
Be compact as the forest: mask your numbers and move as one body

basically this has to do (in my opinion) with tricking the enemy...trick strategies to confuse the enemy....lure ur enemy in with bait to get a perfect chance to kill...

If his forces are united, separate them."

well..what's to answer. it is clear what it means, when you read it. and everyone applies it in practical daily things.
i have read the art of war. and you can learn something from it.

Then a more difficult one
"Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war,
cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays."

as i said...
it's not good to be neither hasty nor lingering. you have to set your strategy speed to a best optimum between the two

That is correct but its more along the lines of Speed is not always the greatest strategy...nor is idleness... the longer you take to think up a strategy doesn't make that idea more well thought out then the quickest decision at the proper moment.
