Thought Leaders
All the three most-famous
invincible commanders
Alexander the Great, Genghis
Khan and Alexander Suvorov
were also great thought leaders.
"But truly, if I were not
Alexander, I would be Diogenes,'
said Alexander the Great.
Genghis Khan wrote the great
Yassa, the de facto law
of the Mongol Empire.
"I
would have become a
writer if I had not become a
commander," said Alexander
Suvorov who wrote 'The
Science of Winning'.
The most famous
strategist and writer among
military commanders was Sun Tzu
who wrote 'The
Art of War' based on his
tested successful expertise.

|
 |
He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot
will be victorious. |
Sun Tzu
|
|
|
On intersecting ground, if you establish
alliances you are safe, if you lose alliances you are in peril. |
Sun Tzu |
|
|
To win one hundred victories in one hundred
battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the
acme of skill. |
Sun Tzu |
 |
A
leader inspires others by encouraging them in times of
difficulty or challenge, expressing confidence in them and their
ability to surmount the hurdles before them. |
Xenophon |
|
|
A leader reminds people of why they
are working and striving for self, family and comrades certainly,
but for that which transcends self. |
Xenophon |
|
|
Above all, a leader is there at the
right time and place. Never underestimate the positive influence
that your very presence can exert in a situation. |
Xenophon |
 |
An army of sheep led by a lion is
better than an army of lions led by a sheep. |
Alexander
the Great |
| |
|
There are no more worlds to
conquer!
Now that the wars are coming to
an end, I wish you to prosper in
peace. May all mortals from now
on live like one people in
concord and for mutual
advancement. Consider the world
as your country, with laws
common to all and where the best
will govern irrespective of
tribe. I do not distinguish
among men, as the narrow-minded
do, both among Greeks and
Barbarians. I am not interested
in the descendance of the
citizens or their racial
origins. I classify them using
one criterion: their
virtue. For me every
virtuous foreigner is a Greek
and every evil Greek worse than
a Barbarian. If differences ever
develop between you never have
recourse to arms, but solve them
peacefully. If necessary, I
should be your arbitrator.
|
|
|
 |
Be of one mind and one faith, that you
may conquer your enemies and lead long and happy life. |
Genghis
Khan |
|
|
An action committed in anger is an
action doomed to failure. |
Genghis
Khan |
|
|
Pride is more difficult to subdue than
a wild lion. If you cant swallow your pride, you cant lead. |
Genghis
Khan |
|
|
When it was wet, we bore the wet
together, when it was cold, we bore the cold together. |
Genghis
Khan |
|
|
A
leader can never be happy until
his people are happy. |
Genghis
Khan |
| |
|
If
the great, the military leaders
and the leaders of the many
descendants of the ruler who
will be born in the future,
should not adhere strictly to
the Yasa, then the power of the
state will be shattered and come
to an end, no matter how they
then seek Genghis Khan, they
shall not find him.

A Historic Link
A
student of Suvorov Kutuzov
defeated
Napoleon.
|
|
|
 |
One minute
can decide the outcome of the battle,
one hour the outcome of the campaign,
and one day the fate of the country. |
Alexander Suvorov |
| |
|
As long
as the enemy fights he must be beaten relentlessly, but a defeated
enemy and especially the civilian population must be treated
generously.
|
|
|
|
|
The whole
world is not worth even one drop of
needlessly shed blood. |
Alexander Suvorov |
|
It is even better to
act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time
of action is past. |
Carl von
Clausewitz |
|
 |
 |
Impossible is a word to be found only
in the dictionary of fools. |
Napoleon |
|
|
The truest
wisdom is a resolute
determination. |
Napoleon |
|
|
He who fears being conquered is sure
of defeat. |
Napoleon |
|
|
I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a
lion. The whole secret of government lies in knowing when to be the
one or the other. |
Napoleon |
|
|
Never interrupt your
enemy when he is making a mistake. |
Napoleon |
|
|
There are only two forces in the
world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will
always be conquered by the spirit. |
Napoleon |
 |
Since the World War II, it is Russia's
historic mission to keep rising to fight and defeat international fascism. |

Putin |

Who Are the Best Commanders
The most successful commanders are...
screenwriters.
The proof:
In real
battles, the U.S.
army is weak it lost the both big wars
USA
started in least developed
countries Vietnam and
Afghanistan. The only big war
the U.S. army was among victors
was when it joined the Soviet
Army as a
junior partner during the
World War II.
In movies, U.S.
army wins always and everywhere.
Hence, screenwriters are the
best military commanders they
never lose.
