All war presupposes human weakness and seeks to exploit it.
→ -
...as man under pressure tends to give in to physical and intellectual weakness, only great strength of will can lead to the objective.

But defense has a passive purpose: preservation; and attack a positive one: conquest.... If defense is the stronger form of war, yet has a negative object, it follows that it should be used only so long as weakness compels, and be abandoned as soon as we are strong enough to pursue a positive object.
