Who would desire peace should be prepared for war.

Opportunity in war is usually of greater value than bravery... Terrain is often of more value than bravery... Bravery is of more value than numbers.

Let him who desires peace prepare for war.

In war, discipline is superior to strength; but if that discipline is neglected there is no longer any difference between the soldier and the peasant.

An army is strengthened by labor and enervated by idleness.

No great dependence is to be placed on the eagerness of young soldiers for action...fighting is agreeable to those who are strangers to it.

If you want peace, prepare for the war.
