He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.

To see the butcher slap the steak before he laid it on the block, and give his knife a sharpening, was to forget breakfast instantly.
