Take Calculated Risks.

Sir, I Am Not A Brave Man...the Truth Is, I Am An Utter Craven Coward. I Have Never Been Within The Sound Of Gunshot Or In Sight Of Battle In My Whole Life That I Wasn't So Scared That I Had Sweat In The Palms Of My Hands.

There Are Three Ways That Men Get What They Want; By Planning, By Working, And By Praying. Any Great Military Operation Takes Careful Planning, Or Thinking. Then You Must Have Well-trained Troops To Carry It Out: That's Working. But Between The Plan And The Operation There Is Always An Unknown. That Unknown Spells Defeat Or Victory, Success Or Failure. It Is The Reaction Of The Actors To The Ordeal When It Actually Comes. Some People Call That Getting The Breaks; I Call It God. God Has His Part, Or Margin In Everything, That's Where Prayer Comes In.

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.

The Soldier Is The Army.

I Don’t Fear Failure. I Only Fear The Slowing Up Of The Engine Inside Of Me Which Is Saying, ‘keep Going, Someone Must Be On Top, Why Not You?
