So let us do real fighting, boring in and gouging, biting.

Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.

You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things. Brave undisciplined men have no chance against the discipline and valour of other men. Have you seen a few policemen handle a crowd?

Remember praise is more valuable than blame.

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

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

We want to get the hell over there. The quicker we clean up this Goddamned mess, the quicker we can take a little jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit.
