One of the things that I noticed in war was how difficult it was for our soldiers, at first, to realize that there are no rules to war. Our men were raised in sports, where a referee runs a football game, or an umpire a baseball game, and so forth.

Never send a battalion to take a hill if a regiment is available.

Peace signifies more than the stilling of guns, easing the sorrow of war. More than escape from death, it is a way of life. More than a haven for the weary, it is a hope for the brave.

Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.

When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.

I never saw a pessimistic general win a battle.

Every step we take towards making the State our Caretaker of our lives, by that much we move toward making the State our Master.
