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.

Napoleon Bonaparte

•

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.

•

The secret of great battles consists in knowing how to deploy and concentrate at the right time.
