One cannot think that blind bravery gives victory over the enemy.
The more comfort the less courage there is.
As long as the enemy fights he must be beaten relentlessly, but a defeated enemy and especially the civilian population must be treated generously.
To me death is better than the defensive.
There is nobody more terrible than the desperate.
When the enemy is driven back, we have failed, and when he is cut off, encircled and dispersed, we have succeeded.
