Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

A military maxim, which ought never to be neglected, is to assemble your cantonments at the point which is most remote and best sheltered from the enemy, especially when he makes his appearance unexpectedly. You will then have time to unite the whole army before he can attack you.

We frustrate many designs against us by pretending not to see them.

The art of war consists in being always able, even with an inferior army, to have stronger forces than the enemy at the point of attack or the point which is attacked.

Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the future of war.

A plan of campaign should anticipate everything which the enemy can do, and contain within itself the means of thwarting him.
