*In ''Discworld/{{Jingo}}'', a conversation between Captain Carrot and Jabbar, wise man of the D'regs, while surrounded by Klatchian soldiers:
-->'''Jabbar''': They will not dare attack before dawn.
-->'''Carrot''': And what will you do, sir?
-->'''Jabbar''': At dawn we will charge!
-->'''Carrot''': Ah. Uh. I wonder if I could suggest an alternative approach?
-->'''Jabbar''': Alternative? It is ''right'' to charge! Charging is what dawn is ''for''.

* From a ''{{Discworld}}'' fanfic, "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5307489/1/Revolution_Maybe Revolution Maybe]]" set during the events of ''Discworld/NightWatch'' (although in the book, the timing of the attack is somewhat unclear):
-->"At dawn, do you reckon?" asks Sam from about three inches behind Vimes's right shoulder. The alley's too narrow to walk abreast. "That's when they'll attack?"
-->It's the obvious time, and therefore a deeply stupid one. Vimes starts to say so, then considers that the order will be given by a high-ranking officer with years of experience and a long family tradition of military service behind him. "Probably," he says.
