The Art Of War In Its Highest

War Is Not An Exercise Of The Will Directed At An Inanimate Matter.

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

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

Every Combat Is The Bloody And Destructive Measuring Of The Strength Of Forces, Physical And Moral; Whoever At The Close Has The Greatest Amount Of Both Left Is The Conqueror.

A Prince Or General Can Best Demonstrate His Genius By Managing A Campaign Exactly To Suit His Objectives And His Resources, Doing Neither Too Much Nor Too Little.
