I Am Conscious Of Having

A Beaten General Is Disgraced Forever.

All The Same, The Fundamental Truths Which Govern That Art Are Still Unchangeable; Just As The Principles Of Mechanics Must Always Govern Architecture, Whether The Building Be Made Of Wood, Stone, Iron Or Concrete; Just As The Principles Of Harmony Govern Music Of Whatever Kind. It Is Still Necessary, Then, To Establish The Principles Of War.

My Center Is Giving Way, My Right Is In Retreat; Situation Excellent. I Shall Attack.

One Is Defeated Only When One Accepts Defeat.

The Unknown Is The Governing Principle Of War.
