Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man.
But between the plan and the operation, there is always an unknown. That unknown spells victory or defeat. ... Some people call it getting the breaks. I call it God. God has His part in everything. That's where prayer comes in.
Make your plans to fit the circumstances.
The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence.
There is only one sort of discipline, perfect discipline.
All of the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters either. Every single man in this Army plays a vital role. Don t ever let up. Don t ever think that your job is unimportant. Every man has a job to do and he must do it. Every man is a vital link in the great chain.
I don’t fear failure. I only fear the slowing up of the engine inside of me which is saying, ‘Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself.
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.
Duty is the essence of manhood.
There is no such thing as luck, merely opportunity meeting preparedness. George S. Patton Jr.
