A War Not Only Arises, But Derives Its Nature , From The Political Ideas, The Moral Sentiments, And The International Relations Obtaining At The Moment When It Breaks Out. This Amounts To Saying:;: Try And Know Why And With The Help Of What You Are Going To Act; Then You Will Find Out How To Act.

A Beaten General Is Disgraced Forever.

One Is Defeated Only When One Accepts Defeat.
