Nine times of ten an army has been destroyed because its supply lines have been severed

I promise to keep on living as though I expected to live forever. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only be deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul.

The untruthful soldier trifles with the lives of his countrymen and the honor and safety of his country.

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.

In no other profession are the penalties for employing untrained personnel so appalling or so irrevocable as in the military.

A soldier plods and groans, sweats and toils, he growls and curses, and at the end he dies.

I came through and I shall return.
