Few men are born brave. Many become so through training and force of discipline.

No great dependence is to be placed on the eagerness of young soldiers for action...fighting is agreeable to those who are strangers to it.

In war, discipline is superior to strength; but if that discipline is neglected there is no longer any difference between the soldier and the peasant.

Men are seldom born brave but they acquire courage through training and discipline - a handful of men inured to war proceed to certain victory; while on the contrary numerous armies of raw and undisciplined troops are but multitudes of men dragged to the slaughter.

The courage of a soldier is heightened by his knowledge of his profession.

If you want peace, prepare for the war.
