"The easiest and quickest path into the esteem……" — B. H. Liddell Hart

"The easiest and quickest path into the esteem of traditional military authorities is by the appeal to the eye, rather than to the mind. The `polish and pipeclay' school is not yet extinct, and it is easier for the mediocre intelligence to become an authority on buttons, than on tactics."

— B. H. Liddell Hart
