Bound to Reunite After a Long Separation

The Military is a Great Matter of the State

All Warfare is Based on Deception

The Dead Cannot be Brought Back to Life

Love Your Soldiers Like Your Children

Do Not Fight Unless the Situation is Critical

Use the Highest Intelligence of the Army for Purposes of Spying

At First Like a Young Virgin

To the People and Not for the People

Many Calculations Result in Victory, Few Calculations Result in Defeat

The Best General Will Aim to Ruin the Enemy's Plans

Taking the Initiative Insures the Enemy's Defeat
