A couple quotes, from On War, a book written in the 1800s that is still used as an introductory text to those being educated for war:
No one starts a war--or rather no one in his senses ought to do so--without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it.
Once the expenditure of effort exceeds the value of the political object, the object must be renounced and peace must follow.
I just thought that since these are such basic concepts, we should all know and understand them, just in case one of us is elected president by a sibling in Florida, for instance.
