The Skillfully Employed

My new favorite quote, which I found while reading The Art of War:
The skillful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man. For the wise man delights in establishing his merit, the brave man likes to show his courage in action, the covetous man is quick at seizing advantages, and the stupid man has no fear of death. - Qtd. by Tu Mu

  1. I like that quote. I think it's basically saying, you need all sorts of people for a well balanced army. In any type of war game, you can't have just one type of unit, you have to have combinations. Starcraft and Warcraft come to mind.
