Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.

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

Plans must be simple and flexible....They must be made by the people who execute them.

When there is fear of failure, there will be failure.

But between the plan and the operation, there is always an unknown. That unknown spells victory or defeat. ... Some people call it getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His part in everything. That's where prayer comes in.

The supreme measure of a man, is what he would risk his life for.

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