Quote by Hasso von Manstein
"A general's memoirs often tell us more about his vanity than about the truths of military science; history favors those who achieved results over those who merely wrote well."
More from Hasso von Manstein
"The task of the general is to win wars, not battles."
"In war, the moral is half; only the other half is numbers."
"Victory is not final, defeat is not fatal."
"The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on."
