Churchill on the importance of a name:

During the War Churchill had to have the entire country working towards the same goal.  Germany was far ahead in military output therefore every minute counted. Churchill shows here how leaders know the details.

When the moment of live ammunition approaches, the moment to which all his professional training has been directed, when the lives of men under him, the issue of the combat, even the fate of a campaign may depend upon his decision at a given moment, what happens inside the heart and vitals of a commander? Some are made bold by the moment, some irresolute, some carefully judicious, some paralyzed and powerless to act.

Ordinary men, Clausewitz wrote, become depressed by a sense of danger and responsibility; if these conditions are to “lend wings to strengthen the judgment, there must be present unusual greatness of soul.”

Agelsilaos – Spartan General

…that it is not right to punish anyone in anger – even a slave, since masters who are angry often themselves suffer greater evils than they inflict on their servants. And it is a complete and utter mistake to attack an enemy with anger rather than with judgment. For anger acts without foresight, whereas judgment has in view a way to harm one’s enemy without suffering any hurt from him in return.
