The bullet is a mad thing; only the bayonet knows what it is about.
The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is a fine chap.
One cannot think that blind bravery gives victory over the enemy.
One minute can decide the outcome of the battle, one hour - the outcome of the campaign, and one day - the fate of the country.
A hard drill makes an easy battle.
There is nobody more terrible than the desperate.
