There is nobody more terrible than the desperate.
The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is a fine chap.
As long as the enemy fights he must be beaten relentlessly, but a defeated enemy and especially the civilian population must be treated generously.
Judgment of eye, speed and attack are the basis of victory.
The Church will pray to God for the dead. The survivor has honour and glory.
When the enemy is driven back, we have failed, and when he is cut off, encircled and dispersed, we have succeeded.
