In War The Will Is Directed At

Talent And Genius Operate Outside The Rules, And Theory Conflicts With Practice.

War Is Nothing But A Continuation Of Politics With The Admixture Of Other Means.

Strength Of Character Does Not Consist Solely In Having Powerful Feelings, But In Maintaining One's Balance In Spite Of Them.

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.

Der Krieg Ist Nichts Als Eine Fortsetzung Des Politischen Verkehrs Mit Einmischung Anderer Mittel. War Is Merely The Continuation Of Policy With The Admixture Of Other Means.
