I address you with neither rancor nor bitterness in the fading twilight of life, with but one purpose in mind: to serve my country. The issues are global and so interlocked that to consider the problems of one sector, oblivious to those of another, is but to court disaster for the whole. While Asia is commonly referred to as the Gateway to Europe, it is no less true that Europe is the Gateway to Asia, and the broad influence of the one cannot fail to have its impact upon the other.

I've looked that old scoundrel death in the eye many times but this time I think he has me on the ropes.

A good soldier, whether he leads a platoon or an army, is expected to look backward as well as forward; but he must think only forward.

My first recollection is that of a bugle call.

No army has ever done so much with so little.

Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.

If I had one more division like this First Marine Division I could win this war.
