There Is No Such Thing As Accident;

Sometimes A Single Battle Decides Everything And Sometimes, Too, The Slightest Circumstance Decides The Issue Of A Battle. There Is A Moment In Every Battle At Which The Least Manoeuvre Is Decisive And Gives Superiority, As One Drop Of Water Causes Overflow.

Riches Do Not Consist In The Possession Of Treasures, But In The Use Made Of Them.

I Have Fought Sixty Battles, And I Have Learnt Nothing Which I Did Not Know At The Beginning.

If I Always Appear Prepared, It Is Because Before Entering An Undertaking, I Have Meditated Long And Have Foreseen What Might Occur. It Is Not Genius Which Reveals To Me Suddenly And Secretly What I Should Do In Circumstances Unexpected By Others; It Is Thought And Preparation

Over-preparation Is The Foe Of Inspiration.
