...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.

Sir, I am not a brave man...The truth is, I am an utter craven coward. I have never been within the sound of gunshot or in sight of battle in my whole life that I wasn't so scared that I had sweat in the palms of my hands.

Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of battle.

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.

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

Coward: someone who in a bad situation thinks with his feet

Fear kills more people than death.
