When the enemy is driven back, we have failed, and when he is cut off, encircled and dispersed, we have succeeded.
Fortune seized at the right moment gives victory.
As long as the enemy fights he must be beaten relentlessly, but a defeated enemy and especially the civilian population must be treated generously.
Judgment of eye, speed and attack are the basis of victory.
No battle can be won in the study, and theory without practice is dead.
The Church will pray to God for the dead. The survivor has honour and glory.
