You Shouldn't Underestimate An Enemy, But It

A Good Battle Plan That You Act On Today Can Be Better Than A Perfect One Tomorrow.

Sir, I Am Not A Brave Man...the Truth Is, I Am An Utter Craven Coward. I Have Never Been Within The Sound Of Gunshot Or In Sight Of Battle In My Whole Life That I Wasn't So Scared That I Had Sweat In The Palms Of My Hands.

To Be A Successful Soldier, You Must Know History.

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. The Only Way You Get On In This Profession Is To Have The Reputation Of Doing What You Are Told As Thoroughly As Possible. So Far I Have Been Able To Accomplish That, And I Believe I Have Gotten Quite A Reputation From Not Kicking At Peculiar Assignments.

Plans Must Be Simple And Flexible....they Must Be Made By The People Who Execute Them.
