Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.

I don’t fear failure. I only fear the slowing up of the engine inside of me which is saying, ‘Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?

Success in war depends upon the golden rule of war.

Death can be more exciting than life.

Compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God help me, I do love it so.

Remember wars are won by killing people. The more we kill, the quicker we'll get out of this war.

The god of war hates those who hesitate.
