Bir Şiir: Edip Cansever, Mendilimde Kan Sesleri
"Boynu bükük duruyorsam eğer
İçimden öyle geldiği için değil
Ama hiç değil
Ah güzel Ahmet abim benim
İnsan yaşadığı yere benzer
O yerin suyuna, o yerin toprağına benzer"

Edip Cansever'den Turgut Uyar'a bir şiir:
"Sevgiler gönderirdi nedense utanırdı da bundan
Gönderir gönderir geri alırdı bir gücenikliği sonra."

This is a French medallion of Napoleon embracing Tsar Alexander I. It’s believed that he told his wife Josephine, "If Alexander was a woman, I would make him my mistress."
I love how this is the same man that was absolutely feared during his heyday. Napoleon fought 70 battles in total and lost only 8 (mostly towards the end of his career), culminating in an impressive 88.6% win rate.
Napoleon was so feared that his later adversaries almost never faced him head-on in battle. The strategy (called the Trachenberg Plan) they employed was that of constant retreat and avoiding direct confrontations with Napoleon's army. They would instead go after Napoleon's commanders, wearing them down bit by bit. The strategy also bought them time to build a bigger and stronger army.
The same strategy was used with great success by Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus against Hannibal during the Second Punic War (218 - 201 BC). However, Fabius was criticized by the Senate for not directly confronting and destroying Hannibal's army. As a result, he was removed from his position and replaced with Gaius Terentius Varro, who was more than eager to attack Hannibal head-on. This proved to be a costly mistake as Hannibal employed his double envelopment maneuver to surround and slaughter the Roman army at the Battle of Cannae.
The Romans reverted back to the Fabian strategy, and Fabius himself walked the streets of Rome to calm its citizens. He stationed soldiers at the gates of the city to keep the citizens from fleeing and spreading panic. In the end, Hannibal did not attack Rome but was forced to withdraw from Italy after having been worn down by the Fabian strategy and having difficulty maintaining his supply lines.
It should be noted that when Napoleon lost at the Battle of Waterloo, he had been suffering from a painful bout of thrombosed hemorrhoids, which prevented him from riding his horse and supervising the movements of his troops.
