My enemies make appointments at my tomb.

The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

A commander in chief ought to say to himself several times a day: If the enemy should appear on my front, on my right, on my left, what would I do? And if the question finds him uncertain, he is not well placed, he is not as he should be, and he should remedy it.

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.

Our hour is marked, and no one can claim a moment of life beyond what fate has predestined.
