When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.

I am sure that if every leader who goes into battle will promise himself that he will come out either a conqueror or a corpse, he is sure to win. There is no doubt of that. Defeat is not due to losses but to the destruction of the Soul of the leaders-the 'live to fight another day' doctrine.

In case of doubt, attack.

May God have mercy for my enemies because I won't.

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

It is the cold glitter of the attacker's eye not the point of the questing bayonet that breaks the line.

In forty hours I shall be in battle, with little information, and on the spur of the moment will have to make the most momentous decisions. But I believe that one's spirit enlarges with responsibility and that, with God's help, I shall make them, and make them right.
