Carl von Clausewitz Quotes About Character

Quotes about: Character

• We repeat again: strength of character does not consist solely in having powerful feelings, but in maintaining one’s balance in spite of them.

• To discover how much of our resources must be mobilized for war, we must first examine our political aim and that of the enemy. We must gauge the strength and situation of the opposite state. We must gauge the character and abilities of its government and people and do the same in regard to our own. Finally, we must evaluate the political sympathies of other states and the effect the war may have on them.
