Those who live in fear die a thousand deaths.

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

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.

There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
