Take not counsel of your fears

Plans must be simple and flexible....They must be made by the people who execute them.

The fixed determination to have acquired the warrior soul, to either conquer or perish with honor, is the secret of victory.

The duties of an officer are the safety, honor, and welfare of your country first; the honor, welfare, and comfort of the men in your command second; and the officer s own ease, comfort, and safety last.

Always do everything you ask of those you command.

If everybody's thinking the same thing, then nobody's thinking.

Better to fight for something than live for nothing.
