War Is The Province Of Danger.

If The Enemy Is To Be Coerced, You Must Put Him In A Situation That Is Even More Unpleasant Than The Sacrifice You Call On Him To Make. The Hardships Of The Situation Must Not Be Merely Transient - At Least Not In Appearance. Otherwise, The Enemy Would Not Give In, But Would Wait For Things To Improve.

War Is Regarded As Nothing But The Continuation Of State Policy With Other Means.

To Secure Peace Is To Prepare For War.

By 'intelligence' We Mean Every Sort Of Information About The Enemy And His Country - The Basis, In Short, Of Our Own Plans And Operations.

Self-reliance Is The Best Defence Against The Pressures Of The Moment.
