Military Quotation of the Day: Horace on Force and Wisdom

Another in a semi-regular quotation that came from an email list run by an Army friend of mine.  This particular quote below seems like a good pairing with a photo of Battlefront 15mm WW2 HQ group that my friend James Manto painted over ten years ago. 
Cheers,
Mike

"Brute force bereft of wisdom falls to ruin by its own weight."
- Horace. 
As quoted in “Bitter Victory:  The Battle for Sicily, 1943,” by Carlo D’Este.

    I'll pass that pearl of wisdom onto my weightlifting teenage son!
