We must guard against becoming so engrossed in the specific nature of the roots and bark of the trees of knowledge as to miss the meaning and grandeur of the forest they compose.

All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.

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.

America loves a winner, and will not tolerate a loser, this is why America has never, and will never, lose a war.

Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.

Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally.

By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.
