Modern Wars Are Seldom Fought Without Hatred

Battles Decide Everything.

Lastly, The Great Uncertainty Of All Data In War Is A Peculiar Difficulty, Because All Action Must, To A Certain Extent, Be Planned In A Mere Twilight, Which In Addition Not Unfrequently — Like The Effect Of A Fog Or Moonshine — Gives To Things Exaggerated Dimensions And An Unnatural Appearance.

War Is Only Caused Through The Political Intercourse Of Governments And Nations - War Is Nothing But A Continuation Of Political Intercourse With An Admixture Of Other Means.

It Is Even Better To Act Quickly And Err Than To Hesitate Until The Time Of Action Is Past.

The Political Object Is The Goal, War Is The Means Of Reaching It, And The Means Can Never Be Considered In Isolation Form Their Purposes.
