“Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible; and when you strike and overcome him, never let up in the pursuit so long as your men have strength to follow; for an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic-stricken, and can then be destroyed by half their number. The other rule is, never fight against heavy odds, if by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that the weakest part, of your enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time, and a small army may thus destroy a large one in detail, and repeated victory will make it invincible.” IfsMenMayLongFightingWinningForceNumbersHalfEnemyVictoryOvercomingArmySurpriseDetailsHeavyStrikesPursuitDestroyedCrushPanicOddsTacticsPursuedMisleadInvincibleHaving Strength Author:Stonewall Jackson

“With regard to power, women don't have the vanity men have. They don't need to make power visible, they only want the power to give them the other things they want. Security. Food. Enjoyment. Revenge. Peace. They are rational, power-seeking planners, who think beyond the battle, beyond the victory celebrations. And because they have an inborn capacity to see weakness in their victims, they know instinctively when and how to strike. And when to stop. You can't learn that.” ThinkingKnowsMenWantNeedsGivingSecurityVictoryBattleWeaknessCapacityRegardVictimSeekingRevengeStrikesRationalVanityEnjoymentVisibleCelebrationPlanners Author:Jo Nesbo
