Life is a lively process of becoming.
The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.
You are remembered for the rules you break.
We are not retreating - we are advancing in another direction.
I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.
It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.
There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.
Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

In war there is no substitute for victory.
Never give an order that can't be obeyed.
Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
Americans never quit.
Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.
There is no substitute for victory.
In war, you win or lose, live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.
They died hard, those savage men - like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them.
The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.
