In War The Will Is Directed At

The Political Object Is The Goal, War Is The Means Of Reaching It, And The Means Can Never Be Considered In Isolation Form Their Purposes.

We Shall Not Enter Into Any Of The Abstruse Definitions Of War Used By Publicists. We Shall Keep To The Element Of The Thing Itself, To A Duel. War Is Nothing But A Duel On An Extensive Scale.

War Is Not An Independent Phenomenon, But The Continuation Of Politics By Different Means.

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

In War, While Everything Is Simple, Even The Simplest Thing Is Difficult. Difficulties Accumulate And Produce Frictions Which No One Can Comprehend Who Has Not Seen War.
