You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
Always do more than is required of you.
In case of doubt, push on just a little further and then keep on pushing.
It is only by doing things others have not that one can advance.
Often I have encountered in life that great disappointments have proved to be the road to future successes.
A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you’ll be amazed at the results.
Duty is the essence of manhood.
If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood.
Always advance. Never dig in.
Success demands a high level of logistical and organizational competence.
You’re never beaten until you admit it.
A man is not measured by how much he can take and stand but by how fast he regains once fallen.
Never let the enemy pick the battle site.
There’s only one way for a professional soldier to die. That’s from the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.
When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
Always do everything you ask of those you command.
