War Is Nothing But A Duel On

Modern Wars Are Seldom Fought Without Hatred Between Nations; This Serves More Or Less As A Substitute For Hatred Between Individuals.

War Is The Province Of Chance. In No Sphere Of Human Activity Is Such A Margin To Be Left For This Intruder. It Increases The Uncertainty Of Every Circumstance, And Deranges The Course Of Events.

In The Whole Range Of Human Activities, War Most Closely Resembles A Game Of Cards.

Any Complex Activity, If It Is To Be Carried On With Any Degree Of Virtuosity, Calls For Appropriate Gifts Of Intellect And Temperament. If They Are Outstanding And Reveal Themselves In Exceptional Achievements, Their Possessor Is Called A 'genius'.

In War Everything Is Simple, But It's The Simple Things That Are Difficult.
