The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

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.

If a man does his best, what else is there?

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.

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.

Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.
