There is only one sort of discipline - PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.

My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.

A good solution applied with vigor now is better than a perfect solution applied ten minutes later.

Plans must be simple and flexible....They must be made by the people who execute them.

When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!

But between the plan and the operation, there is always an unknown. That unknown spells victory or defeat. ... Some people call it getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His part in everything. That's where prayer comes in.

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.
