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

Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tired, more hungry. Keep punching.

A good solution applied with vigor now is better than a perfect solution applied ten minutes later.

I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood.

Take not counsel of your fears

When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence.

Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
