Quotes on Espionage
“It is essential to seek out enemy
agents who have come to conduct
espionage against you and to bribe
them to serve you. Give them
instructions and care for them. Thus
double agents are recruited and used.”
~Sun-Tzu, The Art of War
“There are some who become spies for
money, or out of vanity and
megalomania, or out of ambition, or out
of a desire for thrills. But the malady of
our time is of those who become spies
out of idealism.”
~ Max Lerner
“An ambassador has no need of
spies; his character is always sacred.”
~George Washington
• Espionage goes as far back as 500 B.C – Sun-Tzu
• Covert intelligence is an important political,
technological, and military commodity
• Espionage can provide information about troop
formation and military technology
• Acts of sabotage used to delay or divert the enemy
“The enemy's spies who have come to spy on us must be sought
out, tempted with bribes, led away and comfortably housed. Thus
they will become double agents and available for our service. It is
through the information brought by the double agent that we are
able to acquire and employ local and inward spies. It is owing to
his information, again, that we can cause the doomed spy to carry
false tidings to the enemy. “
~Sun-Tzu
Espionage can be used by the government to closely
examine enemies and allies
Spies can be used to sabotage industrial development
Espionage can also be used for propaganda abroad
“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate
itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom
it seeks to reach.” – Adolf Hitler

keen mind

spies and treat them kindly

the truth from false reports
4. Be clever with espionage missions and
use them in all warfare
5. If secret information is uncovered by the
