We entered a synagogue which was packed with the greatest stinking bunch of humanity I have ever seen. Either these Displaced Persons never had any sense of decency or else they lost it all during their period of internment by the Germans.... My personal opinion is that no people could have sunk to the level of degradation these have reached in the short space of four years.
Success is how you bounce on the bottom.
You fight like you train.
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
If I win I can't be stopped! If I lose I shall be dead.
This is a hell of a way to die.
Infantry must move forward to close with the enemy. It must shoot in order to move.... To halt under fire is folly. To halt under fire and not fire back is suicide. Officers must set the example
In forty hours I shall be in battle, with little information, and on the spur of the moment will have to make the most momentous decisions. But I believe that one's spirit enlarges with responsibility and that, with God's help, I shall make them, and make them right.

The publicity I have been getting, a good deal of which is untrue, and the rest of it ill considered, has done me more harm than good. The only way you get on in this profession is to have the reputation of doing what you are told as thoroughly as possible. So far I have been able to accomplish that, and I believe I have gotten quite a reputation from not kicking at peculiar assignments.

Remember praise is more valuable than blame.
...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.
I do not have to tell you who won the war. You know, the artillery did.
