“A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.”

And

“Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul”

And

“Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.”

And

“In war, you win or lose, live or die – and the difference is just an eyelash.”

And

“Life is a lively process of becoming.”

And

“Never give an order that can’t be obeyed.”

And

“Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.”

And

“The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It’s the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other.”

And

“There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.”

And

“There is no substitute for victory.”

And

“Americans never quit.”

And

“”Duty, Honor, Country” — those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.”

And

“Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind.”
