Through Life Let Your Principal Object Be

Sir! Men Who Desert Their Comrades In War Deserve To Be Shot! And Officers Who Intrude For Them Deserve To Be Hung!

My Duty Is To Obey Orders.

Always Mystify, Mislead, And Surprise The Enemy, If Possible.

I Have So Fixed The Habit In My Own Mind That I Never Raise A Glass Of Water To My Lips Without A Moment's Asking Of God's Blessing. I Never Seal A Letter Without Putting A Word Of Prayer Under The Seal. I Never Take A Letter From The Post Without A Brief Sending Of My Thoughts Heavenward. I Never Change Classes In The Section Room Without A Minute's Petition On The Cadets Who Go Out And Those Who Come In.

Duty Is Ours; The Consequences Are The Lord God's
