The chief incalculable in war is the human will (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
For if we merely take what obviously appears the line of least resistance, its obviousness will appeal to the opponent also; and this line may no longer be that of least resistance. In studying the physical aspect, we must never lose sight of the psychological, and only when both are combined is the strategy truly an indirect approach, calculated to dislocate the opponent’s balance (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
The downfall of civilized states tends to come not from the direct assaults of foes, but from internal decay combined with the consequences of exhaustion in war (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
The nearer the cutting off point lies to the main force of the enemy, the more immediate the effect; whereas the closer to the strategic base it takes place, the greater the effect (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
The profoundest truth of war is that the issue of battle is usually decided in the minds of the opposing commanders, not in the bodies of their men (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
Every action is seen to fall into one of three main categories, guarding, hitting, or moving. Here, then, are the elements of combat, whether in war or pugilism (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
Helplessness induces hopelessness, and history attests that loss of hope and not loss of lives is what decides the issue of war (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
In reality, it is more fruitful to wound than to kill. While the dead man lies still, counting only one man less, the wounded man is a progressive drain upon his side (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
The search for the truth for truth’s sake is the mark of the historian (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
Loss of hope rather than loss of life is what decides the issues of war. But helplessness induces hopelessness (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
It should be the aim of grand strategy to discover and pierce the Achilles’ heel of the opposing government’s power to make war. Strategy, in turn, should seek to penetrate a joint in the harness of the opposing forces. To apply one’s strength where the opponent is strong weakens oneself disproportionately to the effect attained. To strike with strong effect, one must strike at weakness (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
While hitting one must guard... In order to hit with effect, the enemy must be taken off his guard (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
Air Power is, above all, a psychological weapon - and only short-sighted soldiers, too battle-minded, underrate the importance of psychological factors in war. (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
The profoundest truth of war is that the issue of battle is usually decided in the minds of the opposing commanders, not in the bodies of their men. (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
For even the best of peace training is more theoretical than practical experience ... indirect practical experience may be the more valuable because infinitely wider. (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
I used to think that the causes of war were predominantly economic. I came to think that they were more psychological. I am now coming to think that they are decisively personal, arising from the defects and ambitions of those who have the power to influence the currents of nations. (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
The historian’s rightful task is to distil experience as a medicinal warning for the future generations, not to distil a drug. (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
The practical value of history is to throw the film of the past through the material projector of the present on to the screen of the future. (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
For whoever habitually suppresses the truth in the interests of tact will produce a deformity from the womb of his thought. (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
No man can exactly calculate the capacity of human genius and stupidity, nor the incapacity of will. (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
It is thus more potent, as well as more economical, to disarm the enemy than to attempt his destruction by hard fighting ... A strategist should think in terms of paralysing, not of killing. (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
No man can exactly calculate the capacity of human genius and stupidity, nor the incapacity of will (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
In war, the chief incalculable is the human will (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
If you want peace, understand war (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
In reality, it si more fruitful to wound than to kill. While the dead man lies still, counting only one man less, the wounded man is a progressive drain upon his side (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
The implied threat of using nuclear weapons to curb guerrillas was as absurd as to talk of using a sledge hammer to ward off a swarm of mosquitoes (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
A modern state is such a complex and interdependent fabric that it offers a target highly sensitive to a sudden and overwhelming blow from the air (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
The practical value of history is to throw the film of the past through the material projector of the present on to the screen of the future (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
As has happened so often in history, victory had bred a complacency and fostered an orthodoxy which led to defeat in the next war (B H Liddell Hart Quotes)
