Kindle Notes & Highlights
Fear was the most powerful weapon any army could wield, more powerful than an arsenal of warheads aimed at every population center.
In order to get power and retain it, it is necessary to love power; but love of power is not connected with goodness but with qualities that are the opposite of goodness, such as pride, cunning, and cruelty. —Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
Any good strategist knew that sacrificing a pawn was vastly preferable to risking the king. It was the whole reason armies had infantries.
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and silence. —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
