[the Cause Of Inaction In War] ... Is The Imperfection Of Human Perception And Judgment Which Is More Pronounced In War Than Anywhere Else. We Hardly Know Accurately Our Own Situation At Any Particular Moment While The Enemy's, Which Is Concealed From Us, Must Be Deduced From Very Little Evidence.

There Are Cases In Which The Greatest Daring Is The Greatest Wisdom.

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

Courage, Above All Things, Is The First Quality Of A Warrior.

Battles Decide Everything.
