"Dalam kedamaian tentara disiplin berarti perburuan, bukan rata-rata tetapi mutlak; standar seratus persen di mana sembilan puluh sembilan diturunkan ke tingkat orang terlemah di parade .... Semakin dalam disiplin, semakin rendah keunggulan individu; juga semakin yakin kinerjanya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In peace-armies discipline meant the hunt, not of an average but of an absolute; the hundred per cent standard in which the ninety-nine were played down to the level of the weakest man on parade.... The deeper the discipline, the lower was the individual excellence; also the more sure the performance.
