Quote by Thomas Merton
“Ainsi, outre l'avantage que vous aurez de faire savoir promptement toutes vos volontés à votre armée entière dans le même moment, vous aurez encore celui de lasser votre ennemi, en le rendant attentif à tout ce qu'il croit que vous voulez entreprendre, de lui faire naître des doutes continuels sur la conduite que vous devez tenir, et de lui inspirer d'éternelles frayeurs.”
