A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.

Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Our threat is from the insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions - those institutions we proudly called the American way of life.

My first recollection is that of a bugle call.

It was close; but that's the way it is in war. You win or lose, live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.

In war there is no substitute for victory.

I had learned one of the bitter lessons of life: never try to regain the past, the fire will have become ashes.

I believe that the entire effort of modern society should be concentrated on the endeavor to outlaw war as a method of the solution of problems between nations.
