A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.

When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite.

No one can guarantee success in war, but only deserve it.

We have sustained a defeat without a war.

War is a catalouge of blunders.

Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
