You're never beaten until you admit it

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

For years I have been accused of making snap judgments. Honestly, this is not the case because I am a profound military student and the thoughts I express, perhaps too flippantly, are the result of years of thought and study.

To conquer, we must destroy our enemies. We must not only die gallantly; we must kill devastatingly. The faster and more effectively you kill, the longer you will live to enjoy the priceless fame of conquerors.

Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.

Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
