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

There is no merit in putting off a war for a year if, when it comes, it is far worse or much harder to win.

War is composed of nothing but accidents...there is but one favorable moment, the great art is to seize it.

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.

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.
