War Is...a Trinity Of Violence,

Modern Wars Are Seldom Fought Without Hatred Between Nations; This Serves More Or Less As A Substitute For Hatred Between Individuals.

There Is Nothing More Common Than To Find Considerations Of Supply Affecting The Strategic Lines Of A Campaign And A War.

What We Should Admire Is The Acute Fulfillment Of The Unspoken Assumptions, The Smooth Harmony Of The Whole Activity, Which Only Become Evident In The Final Success.

War Is A Conflict Of Great Interests Which Is Settled By Bloodshed, And Only In That Is It Different From Others.

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