Lack Of Orders Is No Excuse For

All Glory Is Fleeting.

When I Want My Men To Remember Something Important, To Really Make It Stick, I Give It To Them Double Dirty. It May Not Sound Nice To Some Bunch Of Little Old Ladies At An Afternoon Tea Party, But It Helps My Soldiers To Remember. You Can't Run An Army Without Profanity; And It Has To Be Eloquent Profanity. An Army Without Profanity Couldn't Fight Its Way Out Of A Piss-soaked Paper Bag. As For The Types Of Comments I Make, Sometimes I Just, By God, Get Carried Away With My Own Eloquence.

In Forty Hours I Shall Be In Battle, With Little Information, And On The Spur Of The Moment Will Have To Make The Most Momentous Decisions. But I Believe That One's Spirit Enlarges With Responsibility And That, With God's Help, I Shall Make Them, And Make Them Right.

The Object Of War Is Not To Die For Your Country But To Make The Other Bastard Die For His.

A Civil Servant Is Sometimes Like A Broken Cannon - It Won't Work And You Can't Fire It.
