All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.

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

Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are and probably more so. They are not supermen

You must be single minded. Drive for the one thing on which you have decided.

In the space of two days I had evolved two plans, wholly distinct, both of which were equally feasible. The point I am trying to bring out is that one does not plan and then try to make circumstances fit those plans. One tries to make plans fit the circumstances.

When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty.

Always advance. Never dig in.
