In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity.

Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of battle.

There are three ways that men get what they want; by planning, by working, and by praying. Any great military operation takes careful planning, or thinking. Then you must have well-trained troops to carry it out: that's working. But between the plan and the operation there is always an unknown. That unknown spells defeat or victory, success or failure. It is the reaction of the actors to the ordeal when it actually comes. Some people call that getting the breaks; I call it God. God has His part, or margin in everything, That's where prayer comes in.

War is simple, direct, and ruthless.

Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are and probably more so. They are not supermen

A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.

Don't fall victim to what I call the ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome. You must be willing to fire.
