A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.
When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
All glory is fleeting.
In case of doubt, attack.
We are either kings or pawns of men.
You can not lead a battle if you think you look silly on a horse.
Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics.
We are forever indebted to those who have given their lives that we might be free.
We maintain the peace through our strength; weakness only invites aggression.
Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in the crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
Without victory there is no survival!
In all forms of strategy, it is necessary to maintain the combat stance in everyday life and to make your everyday stance your combat stance.
In strategy your spiritual bearing must not be any different from normal. Both in fighting and in everyday life you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased.
Approach the enemy with the attitude of defeating him without delay.
Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die.
Grand strategy is the art of looking beyond the present battle and calculating ahead. Focus on your ultimate goal and plot to reach it.
Till the enemy’s weakness is known, he should be kept on friendly terms.
The enemy of a good plan is the dream of a perfect plan.
To secure peace is to prepare for war.
