If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!

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 very simple, direct, and ruthless. It takes a simple, direct, and ruthless man to wage war.

There's only one way for a professional soldier to die. That's from the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.

Do your duty as you see it, and damn the consequences.

The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!

Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.
