Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts

When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!

...It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.

Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.

A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
