The most powerful deterrent to war in the world today lies in the retaliatory power of our Strategic Air Command and the aircraft of our Navy. They present to any potential attacker who would unleash war upon the world the prospect of virtual annihilation of his own country.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

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

Offensive operations, often times, is the surest, if not the only means of defence.

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.

When you have an enemy in your power, deprive him of the means of ever injuring you.
