Compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God help me, I do love it so.

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.

A man is not measured by how much he can take and stand but by how fast he regains once fallen.

There is only one sort of discipline - PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.

Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans.

Let's keep our boots polished, bayonets sharpened, and present a picture of force and strength to the Red Army. This is the only language they understand and respect.

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