Our citizens will lose their confidence or trust in the values and principles of the international community especially if our personal identity is denied.
The time I trust will come perhaps within the lives of some of us when the outline of this science will be clearly made out and generally recognised when its nomenclature will be fixed and its principles form a part of elementary instruction.
The underlying principles of strategy are enduring regardless of technology or the pace of change.
A teacher is never too smart to learn from his pupils. But while runners differ basic principles never change. So it's a matter of fitting your current practices to fit the event and the individual. See what's good for you might not be worth a darn for the next guy.
