War Is The Domain Of Physical Exertion

Of All The Passions That Inspire A Man In A Battle, None, We Have To Admit, Is So Powerful And So Constant As The Longing For Honor And Reknown.

To Achieve Victory We Must Mass Our Forces At The Hub Of All Power & Movement. The Enemy's 'center Of Gravity'

Boldness Becomes Rarer, The Higher The Rank.

Principles And Rules Are Intended To Provide A Thinking Man With A Frame Of Reference.

What Do We Mean By The Defeat Of The Enemy? Simply The Destruction Of His Forces, Whether By Death, Injury, Or Any Other Means-either Completely Or Enough To Make Him Stop Fighting. . . . The Complete Or Partial Destruction Of The Enemy Must Be Regarded As The Sole Object Of All Engagements. . . . Direct Annihilation Of The Enemy's Forces Must Always Be The Dominant Consideration.
