You can't help someone get up a hill without getting closer to the top yourself.

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.

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.

An awful lot has been written about my temper.

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

I can't say enough about the two Marine divisions. If I use words like 'brilliant,' it would really be an under description of the absolutely superb job that they did in breaching the so-called 'impenetrable barrier.' It was a classic- absolutely classic- military breaching of a very very tough minefield, barbed wire, fire trenches-type barrier.

Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still there are things worth fighting for.
