If the leader is filled with high ambition and if he pursues his aims with audacity and strength of will, he will reach them in spite of all obstacles.

Boldness will be at a disadvantage only in an encounter with deliberate caution, which may be considered bold in its own right, and is certainly just as powerful and effective; but such cases are rare.

...as man under pressure tends to give in to physical and intellectual weakness, only great strength of will can lead to the objective.

War is merely a continuation of politics.

If the leader is filled with high ambition and if he pursues his aims with audacity and strength of will, he will reach them in spite of all obstacles.

Everything in strategy is very simple, but that does not mean everything is very easy.
