Today’s Sun Tzu
“There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.”
Protracted conflict drains you; win quickly or avoid it.
What it means
War is expensive in time, resources, and attention, and no one emerges richer from dragging it out. Sun Tzu’s warning applies beyond battlefields: a fight, a lawsuit, a losing investment — the longer it runs, the more it costs, even when you eventually "win."
