The only thing that makes battle psychologically tolerable is the brotherhood among soldiers. You need each other to get by.

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.

Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.

In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.

Life is a struggle, but not a warfare.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.

The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.

I seek solutions, not battles.

You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.
