        By doom of battle.

Black it stood as night,
  Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell,
    And shook a dreadful dart; what seem'd his head
      The likeness of a kingly crown had on.
        Satan was now at hand.
      - John Milton, Paradise Lost

  Horrible discord, and the madding wheels
    Of brazen chariots ray'd; dire was the noise
      Of conflict.
      - John Milton, Paradise Lost
         (bk. VI, l. 209)

To overcome in battle, and subdue
  Nations, and bring home spoils with infinite
    Man-slaughter, shall be held the highest pitch
      Of human glory.

      - James Monroe

In the wars of the European powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, not does it comport with our policy so to do. It is only when our rights are invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries or make preparation for our defence.

When after many battles past,
  Both tir'd with blows, make peace at last,
    What is it, after all, the people get?
      Why! taxes, widows, wooden legs, and debt.

Thrilled ye ever with the story
  How on stricken fields of glory
    Men have stood beneath the murderous iron hail!

We had nae heed for the parish bell,
  But still--when the bugle cried,
    We went for you to Neuve Chapelle,
      We went for you to the yetts o' Hell,
        And there for you we died!
      - Neil Munro, Roving Lads

If I advance, follow me; if I retreat, kill me; if I die, avenge me.

Providence is always on the side of the last reserve.
      - attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon I)

The fate of a battle is the result of a moment, of a thought: the hostile forces advance with various combinations, they attack each other and fight for a certain time; the critical moment arrives, a mental flash decides, and the least reserve accomplishes the object.
      - Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon I)

The fate of war is to be exalted in the morning, and low enough at night! There is but one step from triumph to ruin.
      - Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon I)

The sight of a battlefield after the fight is enough to inspire princes with a love of peace and a horror of war.
