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

So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.

Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle... Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war.

Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

Make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up.

Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.
