The publicity I have been getting, a good deal of which is untrue, and the rest of it ill considered, has done me more harm than good. The only way you get on in this profession is to have the reputation of doing what you are told as thoroughly as possible. So far I have been able to accomplish that, and I believe I have gotten quite a reputation from not kicking at peculiar assignments.

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.

Don't fall victim to what I call the ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome. You must be willing to fire.

I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.

The reason there are so many tree-lined boulevards in Paris is so the German army can march in the shade.

Battle... brings out all that is best.

Audacity, audacity, always audacity.
