Alexander suvorov quotes

The more comfort the less courage there is.

To surprise the enemy is to defeat him.

One minute can decide the outcome of the battle, one hour - the outcome of the campaign, and one day - the fate of the country.

What is difficult in training will become easy in a battle

If we had not driven them into hell... hell would have swallowed us.

A strong pursuit, give no time for the enemy to think, take advantage of victory, uproot him, cut off his escape route.

One cannot think that blind bravery gives victory over the enemy.

Win with ability, not with numbers.

Train hard, fight easy.

Accustom yourself to tireless activity.

Exercises cultivated self-reliance - the foundation of courage.

There is nobody more terrible than the desperate.

Drill your soldiers well, and give them a pattern yourself.

Fire opens the gates of victory.

Fight the enemy with the weapons he lacks.

He who is afraid is half beaten.

Judgment of eye, speed and attack are the basis of victory.

The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is a fine chap.

The bullet is a mad thing; only the bayonet knows what it is about.

When the enemy is driven back, we have failed, and when he is cut off, encircled and dispersed, we have succeeded.

Fortune seized at the right moment gives victory.

To me death is better than the defensive.

A hard drill makes an easy battle.

No battle can be won in the study, and theory without practice is dead.

As long as the enemy fights he must be beaten relentlessly, but a defeated enemy and especially the civilian population must be treated generously.

The Church will pray to God for the dead. The survivor has honour and glory.
