Alexander Suvorov

Quotes

• “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.”
• “Win with ability, not with numbers.”
• “No battle can be won in the study, and theory without practice is dead.”
• “It is very difficult to do one's duty. I was considered a barbarian because at the storming of the Praga 7,000 people were killed. Europe says that I am a monster. I myself have read this in the papers, but I would have liked to talk to people about this and ask them: is it not better to finish a war with the death of 7,000 people rather than to drag it on and kill 100,000.”
