Modern Wars Are Seldom Fought Without Hatred

Tactics Is The Art Of Using Troops In Battle; Strategy Is The Art Of Using Battles To Win The War

War Is The Province Of Danger.

The Object Of Defense Is Preservation; And Since It Is Easier To Hold Ground Than To Take It, Defense Is Easier Than Attack. But Defense Has A Passive Purpose: Preservation; And Attack A Positive One: Conquest.... If Defense Is The Stronger Form Of War, Yet Has A Negative Object, It Follows That It Should Be Used Only So Long As Weakness Compels, And Be Abandoned As Soon As We Are Strong Enough To Pursue A Positive Object.

By 'intelligence' We Mean Every Sort Of Information About The Enemy And His Country - The Basis, In Short, Of Our Own Plans And Operations.

Battles Decide Everything.
