Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
Always do more than is required of you.
Never let the enemy pick the battle site.
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge.
From time to time there will be some complaints that we are pushing our people too hard. I don't give a good Goddamn about such complaints. I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood. The harder we push, the more Germans we will kill. The more Germans we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer casualties. I want you all to remember that.
Never draw a gun on a man unless you intend to kill him. And believe me, if you do intend to kill him he will already know it. Then he will feel the cold breath of the tomb.
The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is bearing arms.
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
The more I see of Arabs the less I think of them. By having studied them a good deal I have found out the trouble. They are the mixture of all the bad races on earth, and they get worse from west to east, because the eastern ones have had more crosses.
I have studied the enemy all my life. I have read the memoirs of his generals and his leaders. I have even read his philosophers and listened to his music. I have studied in detail the account of every damned one of his battles. I know exactly how he will react under any given set of circumstances. And he hasn't the slightest idea of what I'm going to do. So when the time comes, I'm going to whip the hell out of him.
Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.
When in doubt, observe and ask questions. When certain, observe at length and ask many more questions.
