If I Were The First Of May,

There Must Not Be Lacking In Our Leadership Something Of That Spirit Of The Austrian Corporal Who, When All Had Fallen Into Ruins Around Him, And When Germany Seemed To Have Fallen Into Chaos, Did Not Hesitate To March Forth Against The Vast Army Of Victorious Nations And Has Already Turned The Tables Decisively Against Them.

Strategy Is All Very Well, But It Pays To Give Thought From Time To Time To The Results.

If You Will Not Fight For Right When You Can Easily Win Without Bloodshed; If You Will Not Fight When Your Victory Will Be Sure And Not Too Costly; You May Come To The Moment When You Will Have To Fight With All Odds Against You And Only A Precarious Chance Of Survival. There May Be Even A Worse Fate, You May Have To Fight When There Is No Hope Of Victory, Because It Is Better To Perish Than To Live As Slaves.

I Neither Want It [brandy] Nor Need It, But I Should Think It Pretty Hazardous To Interfere With The Ineradicable Habit Of A Lifetime.

Sometimes Our Best Is Simply Not Enough.... We Have To Do What Is Required.
