"Pyrrhus, always the tactician and never the strategist..." I think summarized his entire military life. His experiences were in battle, relying on past tactics and not thinking about the great strategy. His tactical gains were wasted by his lack of strategy.

"If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined,, King Pyrrhus of Epirus, suffering from succes

When your cousin (Alexander) goes on to conquer the known world - And subsequently gets remembered as being “the great”, and you get remembered in history for a victory that nearly destroyed your whole army - Well, that is just fate kicking you in the crotch.

Pyrrhus, come on, finish 1 project before moving on to the next.

The biggest sin of Pyrrhus was not his failure to defeat Rome or Argos, but his inability to focus on one thing at a time. Had he spent more time trying to finish Rome. Or been more patient in Sicily history may have been very different.

Official slogan of Pyrrhus: “If your army is defeated then just go attack someone else”

When I once read that Hannibal said that the three best generals was himself, Alexander, and Pyrrhus I kinda wondered what made Pyrrhus so special, and at first I still wondered it given all the blunders he did until I realized that most of the tactics he did mirrors the tactics done by Hannibal later on. I get the feeling Hannibal studied his warfare quite well.

Pyrrhus really couldn't stop declaring war on everybody

Pyrrhic victory short explanation : "I'm about to end my whole career. "

For Pyrrhus war was not a means to achieve his political goal of making his kingdom stronger. On the contrary he viewed his kingdom as a means to provide him the resourses to conduct infinite war and gain personal glory. And he paid the price.
-
“He would be remembered fondly by his adversaries” Pyrrhic victories are what he’s known for by history.

Pyrrhus land in Italy faced Rome for the first time : These don’t look like barbarians to me. Thousands of year later sitting in my basement me : Yes you’re sooo right.
