A Conqueror Is Always A

War Is The Domain Of Physical Exertion And Suffering.

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.

The Best Form Of Defense Is Attack.

But The Main Point Is That Soldiers, After Fighting For Some Time, Are Apt To Be Like Burned-out Cinders. They Have Shot Off Their Ammunition, Their Numbers Have Been Diminished, Their Strength And Their Morale Are Drained, And Possibly Their Courage Has Vanished As Well. As An Organic Whole, Quite Apart From Their Loss In Numbers, They Are Far From Being What They Were Before The Action; And Thus The Amount Of Reserves Spent Is An Accurate Measure On The Loss Of Morale.
