Mortal danger is an effective antidote for fixed ideas.

The best form of welfare for the troops is first-rate training.

The battle is fought and decided by the quartermasters, long before the shooting begins.

The art of concentrating strength at one point, forcing a breakthrough, rolling up and securing the flanks on either side, and then penetrating like lightning deep into his rear, before the enemy has time to react.

A risk is a chance you take; if it fails you can recover. A gamble is a chance taken; if it fails, recovery is impossible.

Mortal danger is an effective antidote for fixed ideas.

One must not judge everyone in the world by his qualities as a soldier: otherwise we should have no civilization.
