Optimism is denial, so face the facts and move on

On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days, on other fields will bear the fruits of victory.

Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.

Youth is not entirely a time of life; it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubts; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.

My first recollection is that of a bugle call.

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

Optimism is denial, so face the facts and move on
