War Is An Act Of Violence Pushed

Given The Same Amount Of Intelligence, Timidity Will Do A Thousand Times More Damage Than Audacity

Pursue One Great Decisive Aim With Force And Determination.

Every Age Has Its Own Kind Of War, Its Own Limiting Conditions And Its Own Peculiar Preconceptions.

If We Do Not Learn To Regard A War, And The Separate Campaigns Of Which It Is Composed, As A Chain Of Linked Engagements Each Leading To The Next, But Instead Succumb To The Idea That The Capture Of Certain Geographical Points Or The Seizure Of Undefended Provinces Are Of Value In Themselves, We Are Liable To Regard Them As Windfall Profits.

In War More Than Anywhere Else, Things Do Not Turn Out As We Expect.
