It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

Battle... brings out all that is best.

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

It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duty by correcting small violations and in enforcing proper conduct are incapable of leading.

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

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

Perpetual peace is a futile dream.
