Wars are not won by fighting battles; wars are won by choosing battles

A leader is a man who can adapt principles to circumstances.

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

The supreme measure of a man, is what he would risk his life for.

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.

No sane man is unafraid in battle, but discipline produces in him a form of vicarious courage.

Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
