As long as the enemy fights he must be beaten relentlessly, but a defeated enemy and especially the civilian population must be treated generously.
A hard drill makes an easy battle.
Fortune seized at the right moment gives victory.
Fight the enemy with the weapons he lacks.
The bullet is a mad thing; only the bayonet knows what it is about.
One minute can decide the outcome of the battle, one hour - the outcome of the campaign, and one day - the fate of the country.
