Bayonet Charge

Famous quotes containing the words bayonet and/or charge:

    The General Order is always to manoeuver in a body and on the attack; to maintain strict but not pettifogging discipline; to keep the troops constantly at the ready; to employ the utmost vigilance on sentry go; to use the bayonet on every possible occasion; and to follow up the enemy remorselessly until he is utterly destroyed.
    Lazare Carnot (1753–1823)

    One can only call that youth healthful which refuses to be reconciled old ways and which, foolishly or shrewdly, combats the old. This is nature’s charge and all progress hinges upon it.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
