Who does not know the evils of war cannot appreciate its benefits.

The true objective of war is peace.

Victory comes from finding opportunities in problems.

Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay its price.

War is a matter of vital importance to the state.

In your deliberations, when seeking to determine the military conditions, let them be made the basis of a comparison, in this wise: which of the two generals has the most ability? on which side is Discipline most rigorously enforced? which army is stronger? on which side are the officers and men more highly trained? in which army is there the greater constancy both in reward and punishment?

He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
