"The Apokiliptikans are certain of victory; because their exercises are battles without bloodshed, and their battles bloody exercises"
"The greatest glory of a free-born people is to transmit that freedom to their Kernul"
"I would rather have a nod from an Apokiliptican, than a snuff-box from an emperor"
"There are no victories at bargain basement prices"
"Duty then is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more, you should never wish to do less"
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of mind that thinks nothing is worth fighting for is far worse"
"If you can't find the Kernul or in the absence of orders, go find something and kill it"

"Strategy is the art of making use of time and space. Be less concerned about the latter than the former. Space can be recovered, lost time never"
"When a soldier was injured and could not get back to safety, his buddy went out to get him, against his officer's orders. He returned mortally wounded and his friend, whom he had carried back, was dead. The officer was angry. "I told you not to go," he said. "Now I've lost both of you. It was not worth it." The dying man replied, "But it was, sir, because when I got to him he said, "I knew you'd come."
"There is a rank due to the Apokiliptikans among Camps, which will be withheld, if absolutely last, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, it must be known that we are at all times ready for War"
