Quote

The life of the individual is a continuous combat with errors and obstacles, and no victory is more satisfying than the one achieved against opposition.

If fighting is sure to result in victory, than you must fight, even though the ruler forbid it; if fighting will not result in victory, then you must not fight even at the ruler's bidding.

In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.

If you live long enough, you'll see that every victory turns into a defeat.

The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.

Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

In war there is no substitute for victory.
