When other Generals make mistakes their armies are beaten; when I get into a hole, my men pull me out of it.
When one begins to turn in bed, it is time to get up.
I attribute my success on the battlefield to always being on the spot to see and do everything for myself
Believe me that every man you see in a military uniform is not a hero.
There is nothing on earth so stupid as a gallant officer.
Nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won.
