There Are But Few Commanders Who Properly

We Are All But Instruments Of God.

The Hardships Of Forced Marches Are Often More Painful Than The Dangers Of Battle

Always Mystify, Mislead, And Surprise The Enemy, If Possible; And When You Strike And Overcome Him, Never Let Up In The Pursuit So Long As Your Men Have Strength To Follow; For An Army Routed, If Hotly Pursued, Becomes Panic-stricken, And Can Then Be Destroyed By Half Their Number. The Other Rule Is, Never Fight Against Heavy Odds, If By Any Possible Maneuvering You Can Hurl Your Own Force On Only A Part, And That The Weakest Part, Of Your Enemy And Crush It. Such Tactics Will Win Every Time, And A Small Army May Thus Destroy A Large One In Detail, And Repeated Victory Will Make It Invincible.

Never Take Counsel Of Your Fears.

Don't Say It's Impossible! Turn Your Command Over To The Next Officer. If He Can't Do It, I'll Find Someone Who Can, Even If I Have To Take Him From The Ranks!
