I quite like this:

You must chase the enemy around and make him obey your spirit.

Read and heed, [reference deleted] -

"The contest in war is not a contest of individual against individual, but an organised whole, consisting of manifold parts; in this great whole we may distinguish units of two kinds, the one determined by the subject, the other by the object. In an army the mass of combatants ranges itself always into an order of new units, which again form members of a higher order. The combat of each of these members forms, therefore, also a more or less distinct unit. Further, the motive of the fight; therefore its object forms its unit.

[...]

Against the far superior worth which the destruction of the enemy's armed force has over all other means stands the expense and risk of this means, and it is only to avoid these that any other means are taken. That these must be costly stands to reason, for the waste of our own military forces must, ceteris paribus, always be greater the more our aim is directed upon the destruction of the enemy's power."

We shall go on to the end.

We shall fight in Coffee Shop. We shall fight on Just Shovel and Morons. We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the press. We shall defend our threads, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, those of us with satellite hookups, anyway. We shall fight on the litigation grounds. We shall fight on Feelies, and in the various Boinks, we shall fight for the Mr Bills.

We shall never surrender!
