"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat."
"Now an army is exposed to six several calamities, not arising from natural causes, 1 but from faults for which the general is responsible. These are: (1) Flight; (2) insubordination; (3) collapse; (4) ruin; (5) disorganisation; (6) rout."
