Unless you do your best, the day will come when, tired and hungry, you will halt just short of the goal you were ordered to reach, and by halting you will make useless the efforts and deaths of thousands.

Never let the enemy pick the battle site.

A civil servant is sometimes like a broken cannon - it won't work and you can't fire it.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. Always do more than is required of you. If a man has done his best, what else is there?

Go forward until the last round is fired and the last drop of gas is expended...then go forward on foot!

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
