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.

The enemy must be annihilated before he reaches our main battlefield. We must stop him in the water, destroying all his equipment while it is still afloat!

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

Good soldiers, bad officers; however don't forget that without them we would not have any Civilization.

The commander must establish personal and comradely contact with his men, but without giving away one inch of authority.

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

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. Always be tactful and well-mannered and teach your subordinates to do the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide.
