Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle, how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole.

The harder the fighting and the longer the war, the more the infantry, and in fact all the arms, lean on the gunners.

My own definition of leadership is this: The capacity and the will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence.

Decisions! And a general, a commander in chief who has not got the quality of decision, then he is no good.

As God once said, and I think rightly.

I was well beaten myself, and I am better for it.
