Destroy Enemy

Famous quotes containing the words destroy and/or enemy:

    Of all our faults, the one we avow most easily is idleness; we persuade ourselves that it is allied to all the peaceable virtues, and as for the others, that it does not destroy them utterly, but only suspends the exercise of their functions.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    According to true military art, one should never push one’s enemy to the point of despair, because such a state multiplies his strength and increases his courage which had already been crushed and failing, and because there is no better remedy for the health of beaten and overwhelmed men than the absence of all hope.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)
