Better to fight for something than live for nothing.

Lack of orders is no excuse for inaction.

War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula

There are three ways that men get what they want: by planning, by working, and by praying.

Many, who should know better, think that wars can be decided by soulless machines, rather than by the blood and anguish of brave men.

A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.

...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.
