To conquer, we must destroy our enemies. We must not only die gallantly; we must kill devastatingly. The faster and more effectively you kill, the longer you will live to enjoy the priceless fame of conquerors.
I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.
Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.
If everybody's thinking the same thing, then nobody's thinking.
A man is not measured by how much he can take and stand but by how fast he regains once fallen.
Live for something rather than die for nothing.
Staff officers of inharmonious disposition, irrespective of their ability, must be removed. A staff cannot function unless it is a united family.
Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight.
My men can eat their belts, but my tanks have gotta have gas.
Success in war depends upon the golden rule of war.
Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
My men don't surrender. I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.
The supreme measure of a man, is what he would risk his life for.
