Better to fight for something than live for nothing.

Always advance. Never dig in.

Audacity, audacity, always audacity.

No sane man is unafraid in battle, but discipline produces in him a form of vicarious courage.

A man is not measured by how much he can take and stand but by how fast he regains once fallen.

When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence.

Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
