A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair.
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.
Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
If a man does his best, what else is there?
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
The reason there are so many tree-lined boulevards in Paris is so the German army can march in the shade.
Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
You need to overcome the tug of people against you as you reach for high goals.
The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
I never take counsel of my fears.
