Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader.

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!

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.

A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.

If everybody's thinking alike, somebody isn't thinking.
