One ought to begin an analysis of power from the ground up, at the level of tiny local events where battles are unwittingly enacted by players who don't know what they are doing.

Always remember the first rule of power tactics; power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
This is what we call smart power. Using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security. Leaving no one on the sidelines. Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view. Helping to define the problems, determine the solutions.
In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.
Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.
The biggest kick I get is to communicate with those who are exiled from the game - in hospitals, homes, prisons - those who have seldom seen a game, who can't travel to a game, those who are blind.
Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle, how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole.
You don't often see fight scenes with people who have no idea how to fight.
Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation.
Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.
One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it.
