Quotation of the Day

During an operation decisions have usually to be made at once: there may be no time to review the situation or even to think it through -- If the mind is to emerge unscathed from this relentless struggle with the unforeseen, two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead.

- Carl von Clausewitz
