If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.

It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.

If officers desire to have control over their commands, they must remain habitually with them, industriously attend to their instruction and comfort, and in battle lead them well.

The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.

Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success for the weak, and esteem for all.

There is nothing that pisses me off more than seeing this worthless, vile POS disrespect our military! HOW DARE HIM NOT RECIPROCATE THE SALUTE!

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

Leaders instill in their people a hope for success and a belief in themselves. Positive leaders empower people to accomplish their goals.
