Second Battle of Trenton, uttered by Cornwallis about Washington, Washington and the Continental Army escaped to ultimately prevail at the Battle of Princeton.
I concur with that answer; and, curiously, one the most outspoken later critics of that war was one Ulysses S. Grant, who fought in that war, but did not agree with it's justification.
