Sun Tzu( aka Lao Tzu)

2-1
In the operations of war,
    where there are in the field a thousand swift chariots,
    as many heavy chariots, and a hundred thousand
    mail-clad soldiers, with provisions enough to carry them
    a thousand li, the expenditure at home and at the front,
    including entertainment of guests, small items such as
    glue and paint, and sums spent on chariots and armor,
    will reach the total of a thousand ounces of silver per day.
    Such is the cost of raising an army of 100,000 men.
2-2
When you engage in actual fighting, if victory
    is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and
    their ardor will be damped. If you lay siege to a town,
    you will exhaust your strength.
2-5

Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war,
cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.
3-8

It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten
    to the enemy's one, to surround him; if five to one,
    to attack him; if twice as numerous, to divide our army
    into two.
4-7

The general who is skilled in defense hides in the
    most secret recesses of the earth; he who is skilled in
    attack flashes forth from the topmost heights of heaven.
    Thus on the one hand we have ability to protect ourselves;
    on the other, a victory that is complete.
5-1

The control of a large force
is the same principle as the control of a few men:
it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers.

Albert Ensten

I know not what World War 3 will be fought with but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones
