I would rather have a good plan today than a perfect plan two weeks from now.

A good battle plan that you act on today can be better than a perfect one tomorrow.

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.
