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

Exercises cultivated self-reliance - the foundation of courage.

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

The more comfort the less courage there is.

One minute can decide the outcome of the battle, one hour - the outcome of the campaign, and one day - the fate of the country.

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 fool, the bayonet is a fine chap.
