In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.

You have won battles without cannon, crossed rivers without bridges, made forced marches without shoes, camped without brandy and often without bread. Soldiers of liberty, only republican phalanxes [infantry troops] could have endured what you have endured.

Wars are not won by evacuations.

The only way to win is to not be afraid of losing.

Plunge into the deep without fear, with the gladness of April in your heart.

Nothing is lost as long as courage remains.
