It is an approved maxim in war, never to do what the enemy wishes you to do, for this reason alone, that he desires it.

A single blow must destroy the enemy... without regard of losses... a gigantic all-destroying blow.

When you feel you cannot continue in your position for another minute, and all that is in human power has been done, that is the moment when the enemy is most exhausted, and when one step forward will give you the fruits of the struggle you have borne.

The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

The art of war consists in being always able, even with an inferior army, to have stronger forces than the enemy at the point of attack or the point which is attacked.
