I was lucky enough to lead a very successful war.

True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that's what courage is.

War is a profane thing.

An awful lot has been written about my temper.

But I would defy anyone to go back over the years and tell me anyone whose career I've ruined, anyone whom I've driven out of the service, anyone I've fired from a job.

Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.

Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion.
