Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.

The soldier is the army.

Discipline can only be obtained when all the officers are imbued with the sense of their awful obligation to their men and to their country that they cannot tolerate negligence. Officers who fail to correct errors or to praise excellence are valueless in peace and dangerous misfits in war.

Duty is the essence of manhood.

A real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood.

Success is not getting to the top - but how you bounce up from the bottom that counts.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
