Where Absolute Superiority Is Not Attainable, You

War Is Politics By Other Means.

There Is Nothing More Common Than To Find Considerations Of Supply Affecting The Strategic Lines Of A Campaign And A War.

Whoever Does Great Things With Small Means Has Successfully Reached The Goal.

What Do We Mean By The Defeat Of The Enemy? Simply The Destruction Of His Forces, Whether By Death, Injury, Or Any Other Means-either Completely Or Enough To Make Him Stop Fighting. . . . The Complete Or Partial Destruction Of The Enemy Must Be Regarded As The Sole Object Of All Engagements. . . . Direct Annihilation Of The Enemy's Forces Must Always Be The Dominant Consideration.

Two Qualities Are Indispensable: First, An Intellect That, Even In The Darkest Hour, Retains Some Glimmerings Of The Inner Light Which Leads To Truth; And Second, The Courage To Follow This Faint Light Wherever It May Lead.
