A leader is a man who can adapt principles to circumstances.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

The supreme measure of a man, is what he would risk his life for.

Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.

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.

War is simple, direct, and ruthless.

Let's keep our boots polished, bayonets sharpened, and present a picture of force and strength to the Red Army. This is the only language they understand and respect.
