It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.
True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that's what courage is.
A great deal of the capability of an army is its dedication to its cause and its will to fight. You can have the best equipment in the world, you can have the largest numbers in the world, but, if you're not dedicated to your cause, if you don't have the will to fight, then, you are not going to have a very good army.
The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
