Battle... brings out all that is best.

Go forward until the last round is fired and the last drop of gas is expended...then go forward on foot!

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.

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

A civil servant is sometimes like a broken cannon - it won't work and you can't fire it.

It is rather interesting how you get used to death.

If a man does his best, what else is there?
