“Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to publick opinion. This is the weak point of our defenses, and the part to which the enemies of the system will direct all their attacks. Opinion can be so perverted as to cause the false to seem the true; the enemy, a friend, and the friend, an enemy; the best interests of the nation to appear insignificant, and trifles of moment; in a word, the right the wrong, and the wrong the right.” StatesMomentsSeemsGovernmentGivenNationsCausesInterestUnitedOpinionEnemyBreakUnited StatesSocietyConsequenceDirectWeakDefenseInsignificantTriflesWeak Points Author:James F.

“In the Irish Revival of 1859, people became so weak that they could not get back to their homes. Men and women would fall by the wayside and would be found hours later pleading with God to save their souls. They felt that they were slipping into hell and that nothing else in life mattered but to get right with God... To them eternity meant everything. Nothing else was of any consequence. They felt that if God did not have mercy on them and save them, they were doomed for all time to come.” PeopleIfsMenSoulHomeWould BeFallFoundFeltHoursHellMen And WomenConsequenceWeakMercyEternityAll TimeGet BackDoomedRevivalSlippingPleadingRevival Prayer Author:Oswald J.

“I hope that the Palestinians don't make the mistake of unleashing a new intifada. They've tried it twice before, and the consequences were bad for both sides. But I don't think the forces are there (that could carry out) an uprising against the leadership. The people that could initiate it are in Israeli prisons. And what could they hope to achieve? In the end, they're too weak to end the Israeli occupation.” PeopleThinkingEndsForceSidesMistakeAchieveConsequenceWeakPrisonOccupationPalestinianBoth SidesIsraeliUprisingInitiateUnleashingIsraeli Occupation Author:Tom Segev

“The relative size of your force as against that of your adversary is by itself of no consequence. What controls is the relative size of your force at the point where you join in battle. You can strike with the few and be many if you strike your adversary in his gaps. Seek out places where the defense is not strict, the place not tightly guarded, the generals weak, the troops disorderly, the supplies are scarce and the forces are isolated.” IfsArtWarForceBattleConsequenceWeakSizeDefenseStrikesGapsRelativeIsolatedTroopsStrictArt Of WarAdversariesSuppliesScarceGuarded Author:Sun Tzu
