The art of concentrating strength at one point, forcing a breakthrough, rolling up and securing the flanks on either side, and then penetrating like lightning, before the enemy has time to react, deep into his rear.

The German soldier has astonished the world; the Italian Bersagliere has astonished the German soldier.

One must not judge everyone in the world by his qualities as a soldier: otherwise we should have no civilization.

Gentlemen, you have fought like lions and been led by donkeys.

Be an example to your men in your duty and in private life. Never spare yourself, and let the troops see that you don't, in your endurance of fatigue and privation. Always be tactful and well-mannered and teach your subordinates to be the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide.
