Victory Is A Thing Of The Will.

In Tactics, Action Is The Governing Rule Of War.

In War There Are None But Particular Cases; Everything Has There An Individual Nature; Nothing Ever Repeats Itself. In The First Place, The Data Of A Military Problem Are But Seldom Certain; They Are Never Final . Everything Is In A Constant State Of Change And Reshaping.

Airplanes Are Interesting Toys But Of No Military Value.

To Be Disciplined Does Not Mean Being Silent, Abstaining, Or Doing Only What One Thinks One May Undertake Without Risk; It Is Not The Art Of Eluding Responsibility; It Means Acting In Compliance With Orders Received, And Therefore Finding In One's Own Mind, By Effort And Reflection, The Possibility To Carry Out Such Orders. It Also Means Finding In One's Own Will The Energy To Face The Risks Involved In Execution.

Every Manoeuvre Must Be The Development Of A Scheme; It Must Aim At A Goal.
