I've always believed that if you had a fellow who works 150 percent of the time, he's going to beat a fellow who works something less than that.

There are many victories worse than a defeat.

To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

Ever since World War I, superior force is no longer measured in terms of men or horses, but in the means to wreak destruction.

Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.

Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals that they may be superior. Such is the state of mind which creates revolutions.

You know too well the forces which compose their army to dread their superior numbers.

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.

Victory usually goes to the army who has better trained officers and men.

For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
