All glory is fleeting.

In war the only sure defense is offense, and the efficiency of the offense depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it.

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.

I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.

Success demands a high level of logistical and organizational competence.

If everybody's thinking the same thing, then nobody's thinking.

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