Translated from Sun Zi's Art of War:

03.21] (4) One who is prepared and waits for the unprepared will be victorious.

[04.01] In ancient times, those skilled in warfare made themselves invincible and then waited for the enemy to become vulnerable.

[05.15] They offer bait that which the enemy must take, manipulating the enemy to move while they wait in ambush.

[09.11] When the rainwater rises and descends down to where you want to cross, wait until it settles.

[10.08] For steep ground, if you occupy it first, occupy the high on the sunny side and wait for the enemy.
