A Beaten General Is Disgraced Forever.

A Battle Won Is A Battle Which We Will Not Acknowledge To Be Lost.

The Military Mind Always Imagines That The Next War Will Be On The Same Lines As The Last. That Has Never Been The Case And Never Will Be. One Of The Great Factors On The Next War Will Be Aircraft Obviously. The Potentialities Of Aircraft Attack On A Large Scale Are Almost Incalculable.

Victory Is A Thing Of The Will.

The Laurels Of Victory Are At The Point Of The Enemy Bayonets. They Must Be Plucked There; They Must Be Carried By A Hand-to-hand Fight If One Really Means To Conquer.

In War There Are None But Particular Cases; Everything Has There An Individual Nature; Nothing Ever Repeats Itself. In The First Place, The Data Of A Military Problem Are But Seldom Certain; They Are Never Final . Everything Is In A Constant State Of Change And Reshaping.
