The Art Of War In Its Highest

But The Main Point Is That Soldiers, After Fighting For Some Time, Are Apt To Be Like Burned-out Cinders. They Have Shot Off Their Ammunition, Their Numbers Have Been Diminished, Their Strength And Their Morale Are Drained, And Possibly Their Courage Has Vanished As Well. As An Organic Whole, Quite Apart From Their Loss In Numbers, They Are Far From Being What They Were Before The Action; And Thus The Amount Of Reserves Spent Is An Accurate Measure On The Loss Of Morale.

It Is Even Better To Act Quickly And Err Than To Hesitate Until The Time Of Action Is Past.

War Is A Conflict Of Great Interests Which Is Settled By Bloodshed, And Only In That Is It Different From Others.

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

War Is Merely A Continuation Of Politics.
