Ethical Generalship
From the Oxford Book of Military Anecdotes, #79:
The dupties of a great metropolis in Germany, once offered the great Turenne, one hundred thousand crowns not to pass with his army through their city. 'Gentlemen,' said he, 'I can't in conscience accept your money, as I had no intention to pass that way.'
