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.

No Study Is Possible On The Battlefield.

The Unknown Is The Governing Principle Of War.
