I predict you will sink step by step into a bottomless quagmire, however much you spend in men and money." (On Vietnam War)

Deliberation is a function of the many; action is the function of one.

Victory often goes to the army that makes the least mistakes, not the most brilliant plans.

Belgium is a country invented by the British to annoy the French.

You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination.

One can unite the French only under the threat of danger. One cannot simply bring together a nation that produces 265 kinds of cheese.

You'll live. Only the best get killed.
