Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.

Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight.

Live for something rather than die for nothing.

The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fear, to carry on.

The duties of an officer are the safety, honor, and welfare of your country first; the honor, welfare, and comfort of the men in your command second; and the officer s own ease, comfort, and safety last.

No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
