In war whichever side may call itself the victor there are no winners but all are losers.

Hurtling the Pentagon into an unprecedented budgetary meltdown is horrifically irresponsible. Obama doesn't care. This is war - not against the Taliban but war against the GOP. He has Republicans on the ropes and that's a victory he savors and desires - unlike Afghanistan where he seems only to want to turn tail.

In war there is no substitute for victory.

In war when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance he no longer deserves victory.

Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

War is a series of catastrophes which result in victory.

One may know how to gain a victory and know not how to use it.

Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it.

Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.
