Fear will keep you alive in a war. Fear will keep you alive in business. There's nothing wrong with fear.

An awful lot has been written about my temper.

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.

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

Leadership consists of character and strategy. If you can't have both, opt for character.

To be an effective leader, you have to have a manipulative streak - you have to figure out the people working for you and give each tasks that will take advantage of his strength.

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