*Napoleon Bonaparte
But it does sound like Sun Tzu! Which reminds me, got a new copy of The Art of War and I haven’t read it in 10 or 20 years.
In my late teens and early 20’s I got really into Napoleonic history, I still attribute that quote to Sun Tzu. It just sounds so much like some of the prose from Tzu, I sometimes wonder if Napoleon read it since it translated into French two years after his birth.
Sorry, off topic, but that 10 - 20 year range is wild and I notice myself using it more often now as I turn 40 like, “oh I haven’t seen this movie in 10 or 20 years!”
