Let us not mourn that such men died, but rejoice that such men lived.

A civil servant is sometimes like a broken cannon - it won't work and you can't fire it.

Success is how you bounce on the bottom.

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. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight.

When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.

To conquer, we must destroy our enemies. We must not only die gallantly; we must kill devastatingly. The faster and more effectively you kill, the longer you will live to enjoy the priceless fame of conquerors.
