Only The Element Of Chance Is Needed To Make War A Gamble, And That Element Is Never Absent.

Self-reliance Is The Best Defence Against The Pressures Of The Moment.

In War, The Young Soldier Is Very Apt To Regard Unusual Fatigues As The Consquence Of Faults, Mistakes, And Embarrassment In The Conduct Of The Whole, And To Become Distressed And Depondent As A Consequence. This Would Not Happen If He Had Been Prepared For This Beforehand By Exercises In Peace.

If The Leader Is Filled With High Ambition And If He Pursues His Aims With Audacity And Strength Of Will, He Will Reach Them In Spite Of All Obstacles.
