The Allies We Gain By Victory Will

Men Are Led By Trifles.

A Cowardly Act! What Do I Care About That? You May Be Sure That I Should Never Fear To Commit One If It Were To My Advantage.

We Should Always Go Before Our Enemies With Confidence, Otherwise Our Apparent Uneasiness Inspires Them With Greater Boldness.

War Must Be Made As Intense And Awful As Possible In Order To Make It Short, And Thus To Diminish Its Horrors.

The Allies We Gain By Victory Will Turn Against Us Upon The Bare Whisper Of Our Defeat.
