한 파인트의 땀은 흘리면 한 갤런의 피를 흘리는 것을 방지 할 수 있다.
최선을 다 했다면, 딱히 뭐라고 하겠는가?
전투는 혼란의 유흥이다.
위험을 감수하더라도 계산을 해 가면서 감수해라. 그것은 분별없이 경솔한것과는 전혀 다르다.
용기는 일분을 더 버티는 두려움이다.
아무 의미 없이 사는 것 보다, 무언가를 위해서 싸우는 것이 낫다.

규율에는 단 한가지 규율밖에 없다. 완벽한 규율이 그것이다.
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.
Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
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!

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you’ll be amazed at the results.
If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
I don’t measure a man’s success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
I do not fear failure. I only fear the “slowing up” of the engine inside of me which is pounding, saying, “Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?”
Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.
Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essenc
Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn’t give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war.

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.
A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.
