I may have made my reputation as a general in the Army and I'm very proud of that. But I've always felt that I was more than one-dimensional.

I admire men of character and I judge character not by how men deal with their superiors, but mostly how they deal with their subordinates. And that, to me, is where you find out what the character of a man is.

I have seen competent leaders who stood in front of a platoon and all they saw was a platoon. But great leaders stand in front of a platoon and see it as 44 individuals, each of whom has aspirations, each of who wants to live, each of whom wants to do good.

Success is sweet, but the secret is sweat.

If we invade Iraq and the regime is very close to falling, I'm very, very concerned that the Iraqis will, in fact, use weapons of mass destruction.

Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.

I was lucky enough to lead a very successful war.
