Let it decide the day in our stead, and let our camp remain free from the stir of war; if hunger retreat beaten, we must break off idleness.

He who is fresh easily overpowers him who is shaken with languor.

The hand that is flaccid and withered will come fainter to the battle.

He whom any hardship has first wearied, will bring slacker hands to the steel.

When he that is wasted with sickness engages with the sturdy, the victory hastens.
