Sun Bin quotes:

On both difficult and easy terrain, you must know the 'tenable' and 'fatal' ground. Occupy tenable ground and attack on fatal ground.

Deliberate tactical errors and minor losses are the means by which to bait the enemy.

Greater powers and resources do not guarantee tactical superiority.

When conventional tactics are altered unexpectedly according to the situation, they take on the element of surprise and increase in strategic value .

For one who has really mastered the way of warfare, his enemy can do nothing to escape death.
