Many, who should know better, think that wars can be decided by soulless machines, rather than by the blood and anguish of brave men.

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

A real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood.

Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.

You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.

We must guard against becoming so engrossed in the specific nature of the roots and bark of the trees of knowledge as to miss the meaning and grandeur of the forest they compose.
