It is unfortunate when final decisions are made by chieftains headquartered miles away from the front, where they can only guess at conditions and potentialities known only to the captain of the battlefield.

Chieftains must understand that the spirit of the law is greater than its letter.

If an incompetent chieftain is removed, seldom do we appoint his highest-ranking subordinate to his place

Trample the weak. Hurdle the dead.

Never arbitrate. Arbitration allows a third party to determine your destiny. It is a resort of the weak.

It takes less courage to criticize the decisions of others than to stand by your own.

Do not underestimate the power of an enemy, no matter how great or small, to rise against you another day.
