    There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:
    (1)
    Recklessness, which leads to destruction;
    (2)
    cowardice, which leads to capture;
    (3)
    a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;
    (4)
    a delicacy of honour which is sensitive to shame;
    (5)
    over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
    These are the five besetting sins of a general, ruinous to the conduct of war.
  • Ksenia Popovichhas quoted6 years ago
    supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
