For Over A Thousand Years Roman Conquerors Returning From The Wars Enjoyed The Honor Of Triumph, A Tumultuous Parade. In The Procession Came Trumpeteers, Musicians And Strange Animals From Conquered Territories, Together With Carts Laden With Treasure And Captured Armaments. The Conquerors Rode In A Triumphal Chariot, The Dazed Prisoners Walking In Chains Before Him. Sometimes His Children Robed In White Stood With Him In The Chariot Or Rode The Trace Horses. A Slave Stood Behind The Conqueror Holding A Golden Crown And Whispering In His Ear A Warning: That All Glory Is Fleeting.

An Incessant Change Of Means To Attain Unalterable Ends Is Always Going On; We Must Take Care Not To Let These Sundry Means Undo Eminence In The Perspective Of Our Minds; For, Since The Beginning, There Has Been An Unending Cycle Of Them, And For Each Its Advocates Have Claimed Adoption As The Sole Solution Of Successful War.

Lead Me, Follow Me, Or Get Out Of My Way.

Now If You Are Going To Win Any Battle You Have To Do One Thing. You Have To Make The Mind Run The Body. Never Let The Body Tell The Mind What To Do. The Body Will Always Give Up. It Is Always Tired Morning, Noon, And Night. But The Body Is Never Tired If The Mind Is Not Tired. When You Were Younger The Mind Could Make You Dance All Night, And The Body Was Never Tired... You've Always Got To Make The Mind Take Over And Keep Going.

In Case Of Doubt, Push On Just A Little Further And Then Keep On Pushing.

Decision Making

No Good Decision Was Ever Made In A Swivel Chair.

America Loves A Winner, And Will Not Tolerate A Loser, This Is Why America Has Never, And Will Never, Lose A War.

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.

When In Doubt, Attack!

Few Men Are Killed By The Bayonet, Many Are Scared By It. Bayonets Should Be Fixed When The Fire Fight Starts

Never Let The Enemy Pick The Battle Site.

A Man Must Know His Destiny. If He Does Not Recognize It, Then He Is Lost.

I Wouldn't Give A Hoot In Hell For A Man Who Lost And Laughed! Gen.

We Want To Get The Hell Over There. The Quicker We Clean Up This Goddamned Mess, The Quicker We Can Take A Little Jaunt Against The Purple Pissing Japs And Clean Out Their Nest, Too. Before The Goddamned Marines Get All Of The Credit.

Remember Praise Is More Valuable Than Blame.

There Is Only One Tactical Principle Which Is Not Subject To Change. It Is To Use The Means At Hand To Inflict The Maximum Amount Of Wound, Death, And Destruction On The Enemy In The Minimum Amount Of Time.

I'd Rather Have A German Division In Front Of Me Than A French One Behind.

Take Calculated Risks. That Is Quite Different From Being Rash.

In The Space Of Two Days I Had Evolved Two Plans, Wholly Distinct, Both Of Which Were Equally Feasible. The Point I Am Trying To Bring Out Is That One Does Not Plan And Then Try To Make Circumstances Fit Those Plans. One Tries To Make Plans Fit The Circumstances.

Give Me An Army Of West Point Graduates And I'll Win A Battle... Give Me A Handful Of Texas Aggies And I'll Win A War.

Always Do More Than Is Required Of You.

Staff Officers Of Inharmonious Disposition, Irrespective Of Their Ability, Must Be Removed. A Staff Cannot Function Unless It Is A United Family.

My Men Don't Surrender. I Don't Want To Hear Of Any Soldier Under My Command Being Captured Unless He Has Been Hit. Even If You Are Hit, You Can Still Fight Back.

When I Want My Men To Remember Something Important, To Really Make It Stick, I Give It To Them Double Dirty. It May Not Sound Nice To Some Bunch Of Little Old Ladies At An Afternoon Tea Party, But It Helps My Soldiers To Remember. You Can't Run An Army Without Profanity; And It Has To Be Eloquent Profanity. An Army Without Profanity Couldn't Fight Its Way Out Of A Piss-soaked Paper Bag. As For The Types Of Comments I Make, Sometimes I Just, By God, Get Carried Away With My Own Eloquence.

The Test Of Success Is Not What You Do When You Are On Top. Success Is How High You Bounce When You Hit Bottom.

For Years I Have Been Accused Of Making Snap Judgments. Honestly, This Is Not The Case Because I Am A Profound Military Student And The Thoughts I Express, Perhaps Too Flippantly, Are The Result Of Years Of Thought And Study.

By Perseverance, Study, And Eternal Desire, Any Man Can Become Great.

Men, This Stuff That Some Sources Sling Around About America Wanting Out Of This War, Not Wanting To Fight, Is A Crock Of Bullshit. Americans Love To Fight, Traditionally. All Real Americans Love The Sting And Clash Of Battle. You Are Here Today For Three Reasons. First, Because You Are Here To Defend Your Homes And Your Loved Ones. Second, You Are Here For Your Own Self Respect, Because You Would Not Want To Be Anywhere Else. Third, You Are Here Because You Are Real Men And All Real Men Like To Fight.

Be Willing To Make Decisions. That's The Most Important Quality In A Good Leader.

Decisions You Make

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.

Battle Is The Most Magnificent Competition In Which A Human Being Can Indulge.

Duty Is The Essence Of Manhood.

I Read The Bible - Every Goddamn Day.

I Am Sure That If Every Leader Who Goes Into Battle Will Promise Himself That He Will Come Out Either A Conqueror Or A Corpse, He Is Sure To Win. There Is No Doubt Of That. Defeat Is Not Due To Losses But To The Destruction Of The Soul Of The Leaders-the 'live To Fight Another Day' Doctrine.

There Are Three Ways That Men Get What They Want; By Planning, By Working, And By Praying. Any Great Military Operation Takes Careful Planning, Or Thinking. Then You Must Have Well-trained Troops To Carry It Out: That's Working. But Between The Plan And The Operation There Is Always An Unknown. That Unknown Spells Defeat Or Victory, Success Or Failure.

Coward: Someone Who In A Bad Situation Thinks With His Feet

The Publicity I Have Been Getting, A Good Deal Of Which Is Untrue, And The Rest Of It Ill Considered, Has Done Me More Harm Than Good.

This Is A Hell Of A Way To Die.

A Man Must Know His Destiny… If He Does Not Recognize It, Then He Is Lost.

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.
