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.

The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.

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.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

We frustrate many designs against us by pretending not to see them.
