The issue of a battle is the result of an instant, of a thought. There is the advance, with its various combinations, the battle is joined, the struggle goes on a certain time, the decisive moment presents itself, a spark of genius discloses it, and the smallest body of reserves accomplish victory.

Victory is not always winning the battle...but rising every time you fall.

The bayonet has always been the weapon of the brave and the chief tool of victory.

It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory.

Between a battle lost and a battle won, the distance is immense and there stand empires.

To plan to reserve cavalry for the finish of the battle, is to have no conception of the power of combined infantry and cavalry charges, either for attack or for defense.
