If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself.

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

Coward: someone who in a bad situation thinks with his feet

Don't fall victim to what I call the ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome. You must be willing to fire.

From time to time there will be some complaints that we are pushing our people too hard. I don't give a good Goddamn about such complaints. I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood. The harder we push, the more Germans we will kill. The more Germans we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer casualties. I want you all to remember that.

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

All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood.
