My enemies make appointments at my tomb.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

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.

The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.

If the art of war were nothing but the art of avoiding risks, glory would become the prey of mediocre minds.... I have made all the calculations; fate will do the rest.

There is no such thing as accident; it is fate misnamed.
