My men don't surrender. I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.

Take calculated risks.

All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be so treated.

Why is it that all battles are fought in the middle of the night, in downpouring rain, and at the corners of four different maps?

If you can't get them to salute when they should salute and wear the clothes you tell them to wear, how are you going to get them to die for their country?

Unless you do your best, the day will come when, tired and hungry, you will halt just short of the goal you were ordered to reach, and by halting you will make useless the efforts and deaths of thousands.

I never take counsel of my fears.
