Some of the verses in this book are often quoted and used as a pearl word, for example the last few verses of chapter 3:
故曰: 知彼 知己, 百戰ת殆; 不知 彼 而 知己, 一 勝 一 負; 不知 彼, 不 知己, 每 戰 必敗 So here it is said: He who knows the other (the enemy) and knows himself, will not be defeated in a hundred battle. He who does not know the other (the enemy) but knows himself has a balanced opportunity to win or lose. He who does not know the other (the enemy) and himself tends to lose in every battle.
Which is also often abbreviated as:
知己知彼, 百戰百勝 If you know yourself and your enemies, you will not lose in a hundred battles
In addition, verses that are also often used in modern life are:
(是故) 百戰百勝, 非 善 之 善 者 也; 不 戰 而 屈 人 之 兵, 善 之 善 者 也 (So) fighting in a hundred battles and winning one hundred wins is not a reflection of the most powerful strategy. The ability to defeat enemies without battle at all is a reflection of the most powerful strategy. War implementation is a very important issue for the nation.
