In War, Men Are Nothing, One Man

To Extraordinary Circumstance We Must Apply Extraordinary Remedies.

In War, Men Are Nothing, One Man Is Everything.

War Must Be Made As Intense And Awful As Possible In Order To Make It Short, And Thus To Diminish Its Horrors.

Sometimes A Single Battle Decides Everything And Sometimes, Too, The Slightest Circumstance Decides The Issue Of A Battle. There Is A Moment In Every Battle At Which The Least Manoeuvre Is Decisive And Gives Superiority, As One Drop Of Water Causes Overflow.

The Art Of Land Warfare Is An Art Of Genius, Of Inspiration. On The Sea Nothing Is Genius Or Inspiration; Everything Is Positive Or Empiric.
