Have you heard that it was good to gain the day?
I also say it is good to fall,
Battles are lost in the same spirit
In which they are won

Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall... battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won,

Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won.

How do you decide a battle is lost? Numbers, strategic advantage, positioning? It's all worth a sparrow's fart. It comes down to men who are willing. The largest army will founder if its men are less willing to die than to win.

Every battle is won before it’s ever fought.

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.
