Always in a moment of extreme danger things can be done which had previously been thought impossible.

Be an example to your men, in your duty and in private life. Never spare yourself, and let the troops see that you don't in your endurance of fatigue and privation.

Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning.
