The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
America loves a winner, and will not tolerate a loser, this is why America has never, and will never, lose a war.
By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.
Discipline can only be obtained when all the officers are imbued with the sense of their awful obligation to their men and to their country that they cannot tolerate negligence. Officers who fail to correct errors or to praise excellence are valueless in peace and dangerous misfits in war.
Go forward until the last round is fired and the last drop of gas is expended...then go forward on foot!
Compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God help me, I do love it so.
A real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood.
To be a successful soldier you must know history. . . . What you must know is how man reacts. Weapons change but man who uses them changes not at all. To win battles you do not beat weapons - you beat the soul of man of the enemy man.
If we aren't victorious, let no man come back alive!
In landing operations, retreat is impossible, to surrender is as ignoble as it is foolish. above all else remember that we as attackers have the initiative, we know exactly what we are going to do, while the enemy is ignorant of our intentions and can only parry our blows. We must retain this tremendous advantage by always attacking rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, and without rest.
We must guard against becoming so engrossed in the specific nature of the roots and bark of the trees of knowledge as to miss the meaning and grandeur of the forest they compose.
Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.
Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are and probably more so. They are not supermen
I learned very early in my life never to take counsel in my fears.
