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

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

In forty hours I shall be in battle, with little information, and on the spur of the moment will have to make the most momentous decisions. But I believe that one's spirit enlarges with responsibility and that, with God's help, I shall make them, and make them right.

If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
