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

Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

Do everything you ask of those you command.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.

May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won’t.

Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.

There is nothing more pathetic and futile than a general who lives long enough to explain a defeat.

Do your duty as you see it, and damn the consequences.

Human beings are made up of flesh and blood, and a miracle fiber called courage.

Officers must assert themselves by example and by voice.

To be a successful soldier, you must know history.

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.

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.

Anyone in any walk of life who is content with mediocrity is untrue to himself and to American tradition.

No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards die for their country.

Don’t stop learning. Learn from everyone, anywhere and everywhere.

I’m gonna forget all the negative press and focus on being the best version of myself.

All good things are wild and free. Live wild, flower child.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

Don’t be shy to be yourself, be the way you want to be.

A man without principle is like a tree without leaves.

Your wings already exist all you have to do is fly. Don’t be afraid to spread your wings.
