Kitāb al-Safīnah al-Nūḥīyah fī al-sakīnah al-rūḥīyah
Ṣabr, steadfast endurance, made the operative criterion of victory in the struggle between reason and appetite rather than any inherent superiority of either.
and victory goes with endurance.
Cyropaedia
Endurance is required of soldiers but especially of the general, whose honor and visibility help him bear hardship.
And in his campaigns also, if they fall in the summer time, the general must show that he can endure the heat of the sun better than his soldiers can, and that he can endure cold better than they if it be in winter;
You mean to say, father, said he, that in everything the general must show more endurance than his men.
But, father, when once your soldiers had supplies and were well and able to endure toils, and when they were practised in the arts of war and ambitious to prove themselves brave, and when they were more inclined to obey than to disobey, under such circumstances do you not think it would be wise to desire to engage the enemy at the very first opportunity?
