It is not the business of generals to shoot one another.
There is nothing so dreadful as a great victory--except a great defeat.
The scum of the earth... but what fine soldiers we have made them.
Be discreet in all things, and so render it unnecessary to be mysterious about any.
Next to a battle lost, the greatest misery is a battle gained.
There is no mistake; there has been no mistake; and there shall be no mistake.
