Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

War As I Knew It (1947)

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.

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
