Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired. . . .

If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you'll be amazed at the results.

One does not plan and then try to make circumstances fit the plans. One tries to make plans fit the circumstances.

Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning.
