This Is Not A Peace. It Is

A Battle Won Is A Battle Which We Will Not Acknowledge To Be Lost.

The Truth Is, No Study Is Possible On The Battle-field; One Does There Simply What One Can In Order To Apply What One Knows . Therefore, In Order To Do Even A Little, One Has Already To Know A Great Deal And To Know It Well.

Far From Being A Sum Of Distinct And Partial Results, Victory Is The Consequence Of Efforts, Some Of Which Are Victorious While Others Appear To Be Fruitless, Which Nevertheless All Aim At A Common Goal, All Drive At A Common Result: Namely, At A Decision, A Conclusion Which Alone Can Provide Victory.

All The Same, The Fundamental Truths Which Govern That Art Are Still Unchangeable; Just As The Principles Of Mechanics Must Always Govern Architecture, Whether The Building Be Made Of Wood, Stone, Iron Or Concrete; Just As The Principles Of Harmony Govern Music Of Whatever Kind. It Is Still Necessary, Then, To Establish The Principles Of War.

Regulations Are All Very Well For Drill, But In The Hour Of Danger They Are No More Use. You Have To Learn To Think.
