As long as the enemy fights he must be beaten relentlessly, but a defeated enemy and especially the civilian population must be treated generously.

Fight the enemy with the weapons he lacks.

A hard drill makes an easy battle.

When the enemy is driven back, we have failed, and when he is cut off, encircled and dispersed, we have succeeded.

The bullet is a mad thing; only the bayonet knows what it is about.

Judgment of eye, speed and attack are the basis of victory.

The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is a fine chap.
