“Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. Antiquated War Offices, weak, incompetent, or arrogant Commanders, untrustworthy allies, hostile neutrals, malignant Fortune, ugly surprises, awful miscalculations — all take their seats at the Council Board on the morrow of a declaration of war.”

Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“He whose daily life has been a rounded whole, is easy in his mind.”
