"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat."
"When a general, unable to estimate the enemy's strength, allows an inferior force to engage a larger one, or hurls a weak detachment against a powerful one, and neglects to place picked soldiers in the front rank, the result must be rout."
