Politics Is The Womb In Which War

To Be Practical, Any Plan Must Take Account Of The Enemy's Power To Frustrate It.

There Are Times When The Utmost Daring Is The Height Of Wisdom.

Tactics Is The Art Of Using Troops In Battle; Strategy Is The Art Of Using Battles To Win The War

Battles Decide Everything.

It Is Paltry Philosophy If In The Old-fashioned Way One Lays Down Rules And Principles In Total Disregard Of Moral Values . As Soon As These Appear One Regards Them As Exceptions, Which Gives Them A Certain Scientific Status, And Thus Makes Them Into Rules. Or Again One May Appeal To Genius , Which Is Above All Rules; Which Amounts To Admitting That Rules Are Not Only Made For Idiots , But Are Idiotic In Themselves.
