"My dear Excellency! I have not gone to war to collect cheese and eggs, but for another purpose."

War

"I honored the fallen enemy by placing a stone on his beautiful grave."

Enemy

"Everything depends on whether we have for opponents those French tricksters or those daring rascals, the English. I prefer the English. Frequently their daring can only be described as stupidity. In their eyes it may be pluck and daring."

English

Thought

"I have had an experience which might perhaps be described as being shot down. At the same time, I call shot down only when one falls down. Today I got into trouble but I escaped with a whole skin."

Experience

"It is a pity that my collection of trophies contains not a single Russian."

Pity

Language

Time

"All the papers contained nothing but fantastic stories about the war. However, for several months we had been accustomed to war talk. We had so often packed our service trunks that the whole thing had become tedious."
