The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!

Never let the enemy pick the battle site.

Officers must be made to care for their men. That is the sole duty of all officers.

Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.

But between the plan and the operation, there is always an unknown. That unknown spells victory or defeat. ... Some people call it getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His part in everything. That's where prayer comes in.

Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.

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