To surprise the enemy is to defeat him.
Judgment of eye, speed and attack are the basis of 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.
The bullet is a mad thing; only the bayonet knows what it is about.
No battle can be won in the study, and theory without practice is dead.
He who is afraid is half beaten.
