From time to time there will be some complaints that we are pushing our people too hard. I don't give a good Goddamn about such complaints. I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood. The harder we push, the more Germans we will kill. The more Germans we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer casualties. I want you all to remember that.

Officers must be made to care for their men. That is the sole duty of all officers.

A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.

A leader is a man who can adapt principles to circumstances.

The most difficult thing about being humble is not being able to brag about it.

You shouldn't underestimate an enemy, but it is just as fatal to overestimate him.

Attack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and hungry you may be, the enemy will be more tired, more hungry. Keep punching.
