  1 Pre|        THE BOOKS ON THE ART OF WAR~TO~LORENZO DI FILIPPO STROZZI,~
  2 Pre|     who can only be injured by war? In whom ought there to
  3 Pre|      what I know of the art of war, to the satisfaction of
  4 1  |    where matters pertaining to war were discussed at length
  5 1  |      other hand, in matters of war which is your profession
  6 1  |         in part are enemies of war and in part incorrigible,
  7 1  |   where you said to me that in war ((which is my profession))
  8 1  |     for themselves in times of war, that they can provide for
  9 1  |        whom they lead, because war hardens them: and even if
 10 1  |       soldiers, when the first war they engaged in with the
 11 1  |     and waged a more dangerous war against the Carthaginians
 12 1  |       my argument, which says: War makes robbers, and peace
 13 1  |    after the last Carthaginian war, acquired fame as valiant
 14 1  |        take up the practice of war as their profession; and
 15 1  |     times by the profession of war. But those who were Captains,
 16 1  |      if that man had practiced war as his profession, and by
 17 1  |       men, who do not practice war as their profession, do
 18 1  |  desire that this training for war ought to be employed in
 19 1  |      exercise, and in times of war as a necessity and for glory,
 20 1  |      in times of peace, desire war because they are unable
 21 1  |      take up the profession of war for themselves still ought
 22 1  |   those who make the waging of war their profession; for you
 23 1  |     for you are forced to make war always, or pay them always,
 24 1  |      Kingdom from you. To make war always is not possible: (
 25 1  |       all times, for they made war at all times: but in order
 26 1  |      necessary for him to wage war, will willingly go forth
 27 1  |      these will willingly make war in order to have peace,
 28 1  |      disturb the peace to have war.~COSIMO: Truly, this reasoning
 29 1  |       through the training for war, as do your equals who obtain
 30 1  |      to be employed in time of war to that in peace? for while
 31 1  |    more garrisoned in times of war; to this should be added
 32 1  |      any other profession than war, as you have taken them
 33 1  |     its citizens as leaders in war, and in time of peace desire
 34 1  |     man in peace as well as in war. And because you have mentioned
 35 1  |     say I have never practiced war as a profession, for my
 36 1  |     peace but know how to make war; and my King does not reward
 37 1  |        much for what I know of war, as because I know also
 38 1  |    peace or too many lovers of war, they will cause him to
 39 1  |      of those who want to make war is to be able to combat
 40 1  |  marching. All the industry of war in the field is placed in
 41 1  |      honored (in the waging of war). And if one does well in
 42 1  |     make in the conduct of the war are supportable: but if
 43 1  |       he will never carry on a war to victory (and honor).
 44 1  |       drawn up regulations for war want men to be chosen from
 45 1  |      the sea, where they waged war with virtu, and with arms
 46 1  |     came when they had to wage war on land to defend Venice
 47 1  |       as they knew how to wage war at sea, they should not
 48 1  |       not on the sea, when the war broke out with the Carthaginians
 49 1  |      his people disciplined to war, from what has been cited
 50 1  |     those then chosen to go to war, being accustomed in the
 51 1  |       adapt themselves to real war. But afterwards, when these
 52 1  | imposed the carrying on of the war, had assumed the Magistracy,
 53 1  |     because few have been in a war, as because of those few
 54 1  |     they are levied to send to war.~But even if such an arrangement
 55 1  |       the arms are useless for war, and the leaders causes
 56 1  |     gives them arms useful for war, and leaders who will extinguish
 57 1  |       tumult and without civil war; which did not result from
 58 2  |        the important things in war and the object for which
 59 2  |    Parthians did not engage in war except with cavalry, yet
 60 2  |       discussion on matters of war is not going beyond the
 61 2  |     but those that are made in war, as the punishment happens
 62 2  |         were selected to go to war, they were already soldiers
 63 2  |      arms of those they use in war to each part. And as they
 64 2  |    impediment, are not fit for war (combat), they make a selection
 65 2  |     train in the discipline of war, or rather its army as the
 66 2  |      become entirely expert in war. It is also necessary to
 67 2  |        of the men excellent in war there have been many famed
 68 2  |      the time men, defeated in war, were either put to death
 69 2  |      so that those overcome in war suffered every last misery.
 70 2  |        use in other actions of war, are most useful in terrifying
 71 3  |     the zither and whistles in war; but Alexander the Great
 72 4  |       other animals useless in war, but in a manner that they
 73 4  |       loyal and most expert in war, and prudent, with whom
 74 4  |      when the soldiers see the war becoming long, they become
 75 4  |   father of Perseus, coming to war with the Romans, placed
 76 4  |        in any place, until the war ends, so that they understand
 77 4  |         King of France, in the war he waged against the English,
 78 5  |     happen, as the winner of a war (then) was enriched. This
 79 5  |   except that furnished by the war. They did this for two reasons:
 80 5  |      is nothing more useful in war, than to keep silent (about)
 81 6  |       for every other thing in war can be overcome with time,
 82 6  |      assaulted after the first war which they had with the
 83 6  |     Romans and Greeks had made war with few (soldiers), strengthened
 84 6  |    also to think about how the war ought to be concluded; for
 85 6  |        with them men expert in war disguised in the clothing
 86 6  |        purpose. Marius, in the war he waged against Cimbri,
 87 6  |      next to him, as exists in war, to save his possessions,
 88 6  |      that country) abandon the war. This is the method employed
 89 6  |      is better to continue the war even in winter, as is done
 90 6  |     all are made in matters of war. There is nothing more imprudent
 91 6  |      to a Captain than to wage war in winter, and more dangerous
 92 6  |        makes you win or lose a war. Therefore, whoever know
 93 6  |      And do not marvel if they war in winter time today, for
 94 6  |      others, and wants to make war. Whence he is compelled
 95 6  |    part, to be of value, makes war in the field in the winter
 96 7  |   methods and organizations of war in all the world, with respect
 97 7  |    Pyrrhus, when he was waging war in Sclavonia, in one of
 98 7  |       Romans more honor in the war against Hannibal, as their
 99 7  |        designs of the enemy in war, and endures much hardship
100 7  |    recognize an opportunity in war, and take it, benefits you
101 7  |      makes many. Discipline in war counts more than fury. If
102 7  |      then when they are led by war, (they are led) by hope
103 7  |       bread, are the sinews of war; but of these four, the
104 7  |    other (hand), in matters of war in which I worked very hard,
105 7  |       or fear me, when, with a war ended, they no longer must
