"The predominance of moral factors in all military……" — B. H. Liddell Hart
"The predominance of moral factors in all military decisions. On them constantly turns the issue of war and battle. In the history of war they form the more constant factors, changing only in degree, whereas the physical factors are different in almost every war and every military situation."
