You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.- George S. Patton
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 only one sort of discipline, perfect discipline.
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!
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
