Only Great And General Battles Can Produce

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

The Enemy Of A Good Plan Is The Dream Of A Perfect Plan.

What Do We Mean By The Defeat Of The Enemy? Simply The Destruction Of His Forces, Whether By Death, Injury, Or Any Other Means-either Completely Or Enough To Make Him Stop Fighting. . . . The Complete Or Partial Destruction Of The Enemy Must Be Regarded As The Sole Object Of All Engagements. . . . Direct Annihilation Of The Enemy's Forces Must Always Be The Dominant Consideration.

The Best Form Of Defense Is Attack.

Be Audacious And Cunning In Your Plans, Firm And Persevering In Their Execution, Determined To Find A Glorious End.
