Timidity Is The Root Of Prudence In

War Should Never Be Thought Of As Something Autonomous, But Always As An Instrument Of Policy.

Blind Aggressiveness Would Destroy The Attack Itself, Not The Defense.

Intelligence Alone Is Not Courage, We Often See That The Most Intelligent People Are Irresolute. Since In The Rush Of Events A Man Is Governed By Feelings Rather Than By Thought, The Intellect Needs To Arouse The Quality Of Courage, Which Then Supports And Sustains It In Action.

If We Read History With An Open Mind, We Cannot Fail To Conclude That, Among All The Military Virtues, The Energetic Conduct Of War Has Always Contributed Most To Glory And Success.

No Campaign Plan Survives First Contact With The Enemy
